why are we "skaterina" ?

we are Kappy, Kathy, Mrs. Hunter, La Senora, a grandma with a name

given her by the baby, Happy Trail Cat and Katherine the rad granny

we are Skaterina bc she was fulfilling a long time ambition

to take ice skating lessons when she was 63

coincidentally she got a WebTV box and took to the

information super highway

she joined an email list set up by a web designer guru

she became part of an on.line community

that was almost 20 years ago

one of the members dubbed her Skaterina

the name stuck and held

her first blog was called Skaterina

she had a companion blog for food and recipes called

Caterina Cacciatore, her name in Italian

when an entity was discovered in her echocardiogram

it quickly became Miss Tickle

Skaterina made a page for her too on her blogspot account

Miss Tickle is the drummer girl who keeps Skaterina's heart

tickling nicely

she wears a pointy hat

the pointy hat was first noticed by Skaterina's daughter

known as Darling Daughter (DD)

then Skaterina was diagnosed with cancer

she decided to have Miss Tickle write about her and for her

and her experience with cancer

Skaterina thought Miss Tickle wd give her a measure of detachment

as she navigated her way to her senior moments

wait !

what about KnitterMe ?

KnitterMe was her first phrenia

she was the one who learned how to knit, sew, crochet, weave,

all that good stuff

Kappy was in grade school then and was happy to have a Knitting Body

later when the knitting body got smart and knew how to spin her own yarn

and design her own knittings and weavings

she became KnitterMe

she needed a suitable name for a knitters' online list

she doesnt want her own page

will stick Skaterina with her needles if she gives her one

then there is

mrsfoley who remains to be seen or will be seen in the remains
