And the Trophy Goes To...

The other night Glen and I went bowling with 7 other couples for our Empty Nesters Group activity. I found that a lot of people were very leery of bowling since they hadn't bowled in years. That didn't keep us away!!! Who cares if we're rusty and haven't thrown a ball down an alley trying to knock down 10 pins in quite a while? I did my best to try and rummage up willing people to participate in the activity with us.

I had to talk and talk and talk to try and get Bruno Kossin to consent to going and was quite surprised when Colleen called a few minutes before the activity started to say that they would go with us. Of course, he's the expert bowler bringing his own ball and shoes and he scored the high score of 159. Good for him!!!

The couple in charge of the activity this month had gone shopping at the D.I. and had secured a very lovely bowling trophy to award to the winner. Unfortunately, the trophy had a woman bowler on it and so Bruno refused to accept it.

So, the woman with the highest score of 136--second only to Bruno--very happily accepted the trophy and carried it out of the bowling alley with pride. Hate to brag--but I'll do it anyway...

The person who holds the trophy in her possession is ME!!!!!


Bet that surprises everyone. It sure surprised me considering I'm not athletic in the least!!!!! Here is a photo of the lovely trophy for all to admire. Just wish my name was imprinted on it...

Looks like all that time in your bowling league paid off.

Wow, way to go Kim! I don't even come close to that score!
