Cesidio's Lost Red Glove

3/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Why I love Saratoga so much...on Sunday, my son lost one red winter glove and clip for his jacket. If you know my son, you probably recall seeing these red gloves dangling from his jacket all winter long, whether in school or at the ski mountain or ice rink. We didn't realize that the glove was missing until later on in the evening. Earlier, he had been at the Warming Hut in the Spa Park dying Easter eggs using natural dyes. Yesterday (Monday), I forgot to drive the 20 min th...ere to see if his glove was lost in the snow or left in the building. This morning I remembered the lost glove (because this is what moms do!) and I thought I'd swing by on my way to work. I drove down the dirt road and walked up to the locked building in the middle of the woods (and for those who speedskated there years ago, next to the natural 400 meter oval we used to skate on in the winter), and I peered into the foggy old windows. Much to my delight I saw the red glove and clip lying on top of one of the dozen or so picnic tables in the non-heated locked building. It was the only thing inside the building with any color (the rest of the interior consisted of worn picnic tables and old gray cement). For a moment I thought about how it must have felt to be left behind in this cold, dark building at night and not on my son's jacket in our warm house, and not with it's twin glove that it had been with since I bought these gloves at a kids' consignment sale last year and Santa had brought my son the clips to match. My son's glove!!! I was elated!! I texted my husband to let him know that it was indeed still here but that I had no idea how to get into the locked building to get it! I got back into my car and, just as I decided to head to the park police headquarters, around the corner on the dirt road comes one of the park's maintenance guys in his big truck. I flagged him down, rolled down the window, and told him my story of my son's lost glove on the table inside and how I had no key to get inside. He smiled, told me he had a key, and that he could open it up for just a minute and would have to lock it right back up again. That was perfect, I said! He unlocked the door, and I ran inside, grin on my face, right over to snatch up my son's beautiful, warm, ski glove. I told him "you know, I used to spend a lot of time in this building years ago. I was a speedskater." He said "oh, are you talking about the old 440 oval out there in the grass? I remember that!" "Yes, I said, good memories there and lots of time trying to get warm up here when we weren't down by the ice in our cars". I thanked him for opening up the warming hut and wished him a good day, smiling all the time, holding my son's glove. I think I might even have skipped a bit back to the car, thinking of being a kid there and how my kids are now playing here, and how years ago I probably lost my red glove on the same picnic table and my mom or dad probably drove back to get it!
