Bowling

I have not bowled in years on a league!  Did I say years??  I decided to bowl with some friends on a bowling league this summer.  It's called 10 for 10.  Which means you bowl 10 weeks and at the end of the summer you get a bowling ball.  I am not good at commitments. 10 weeks! I dunno if I can do it.

The first week I did pretty good considering I hadn't bowled in awhile. I set an average of 147 and then the next week bombed big time.  Dropped my average to 125.  To bowl in a league you really should have your own shoes and a ball.  Well,Tamara gave me a pair of bowling shoes the first nite so I only have half of an excuse.  The third week I bowled with mom's ball and did much better.  I even had a 187.   We will see tonite if using mom's ball was what I needed!!

A Surprise Email

I received an email from someone I hadn't heard from in 8 years.  It was a pleasant surpise.  KLENT.
Klent Harkness.  Tina and I both became acquainted with Klent before we went on Free Wheel in 2001. Klent had asked about FW on their web site. We both emailed him and actually got to meet him on FW that year and rode with him some.  Klent later would come and do a couple of rides with Tina and I.

Tina and Klent continued with their friendship through the years.  Because of something stupid that had happen I had stopped riding and communicating with either one for several years.  Funny how we let the little things come between friendships.  I got over or forgot about it and started hanging with Tina again a couple of years ago.

Interesting to hear from after all these years. I didn't realize until I got his email how much I had missed him!

Full Moon and Jim Sweeney

Tonite 12 of us went to Full Moon on Cherry Street, ate dinner and listened to Jim Sweeney.  I hadn't heard Jim Sweeney since 1995 when James and I would go listened to him and dance the nite away!  He still sounded good and looked good.  Several songs made you want to get up dance but our big table was on the dance floor. :(  So much fun being with friends.

Dad, I wish you could have met Grayson and Braxton. Grayson is Lori's little girl. What would you have thought of our little brown girl?? You would have loved her and been so proud, I know.  Braxton is Tiffany's miracle baby and he is very special to all of us.  He makes us laugh and so happy!  We think about you often.

My Grandma:
I miss you more than you will ever know.  You were the one that gave me so much. You taught me about our Jesus.  You were one special lady, Grandma!  I Love You!

My Stepdad:

You were so crazy about Chris. You loved Lori and Tiffany but Chris held a special place in your heart because we lived with you for his first 4 years of life. Dad you would be proud of the man he has grown to be. 

Granny:
