Bowling!

Mother has been talking about how much fun going bowling is and how much she wanted to go again – so finally I took the hint and organized a Bowling Party. I invited the whole family to join us, knowing full well that not everyone would be able to. The final tally was Me, Bryan, Mother, Lisa and her friend Josh. That made for a very fun afternoon! We rented two lanes side by side, so it was Me, Bryan and Mother on lane 17 against Lisa and Josh on lane 18.

Bryan blew us all out of the running with a very strong pitch (is it a pitch when you’re bowling? I don’t know the proper terminology) with Mother following closely and with me trailing along behind… way, way, WAY behind. The scoreboard that keeps track of everybody’s score also clocks how fast the bowling ball travels down the lane: sometimes Bryan’s ball went over 20 mph! I was doing good if mine went over 10 mph…

We worried about mother’s balance and coordination, but she did really good. Her thumb is all swollen today, and she has new bruises up and down her arm – but she had such a good time, she’s talking about going again! Maybe more of the family can join us this time.
