Hi I have not wrote on our blog for quite a while, but today i finally had a GREAT day bowling. I do not know what happened but I had a 122 game 1 130 game 2 and a 168 game 3 in game 3 I only had I open frame that had a 9. I was truly happy and felt very confident throwing that darn bowl. So I was a very HAPPY women today, I beat Sam all 3 games Yay.

The Birthday Boy

Yomorrow is Sam's 86th birthday lst evening we went to the Pub restaurant in Camden for dinner to celebrate his birthday. We all had too much food and we were very well treated and all brought doggie bags home with us, so guess what we will have for dinner tonite, you guessed it leftovers, yum yum.
Today at bowling Sam had a high game of 199 we were so disappointed that he did not hit the 200 mark but he was happy 5 strikes in a row. His next game was a 103 so you just never know, but his favorite saying is IT'S ONLY A GAME, my favorite is IT's BETTER THEN SITTING AT HOME. we really enjpy bowling 3 days a week and have met so many wonderful friendly people.

Birthday Boy

Tomorrow is Sam's 86th birthday ,to celebrate we all went to the Pub Restaurant in Camden and had a wonderful evening. We all had to much food and all brought Doggie bags home with us so guess wgat we are having for dinner tonite, you guessed it lestovers, but that's OK.

Today at bowling Sam had a high of 199 we were so sorry he did not hit the 200 mark, but he was happy had 5 strikes in a row. His next game was a 103 so that' s the way it goes up and down.

Sam's favorite saying is IT'S ONLY A GAME. and mine is IT'S BETTER THEN SITTING AT HOME. We really enjoy going bowling 3 times a week and have met so many nice people.

At Last

I guess you all know that I try my best but cannot seem to get my bowling act together for quite a while now , I was in a bad SLUMP,but today I started to come out of the slump. The high was a GREAT 164 (good for me) as Lou who bowls with us on fridays and is a GREAT bowler had a 165 so I felt good that I was able to keep up with her so maybe better days are a head.

I know I will do better.

As you all know I am not too good of a bowler on Monday I had 7 strikes in 3 games so that was good foe me.. Somedays I cannot buy a strike and go for days with out one little strike. So if I can just remember to get my arm straight up I do much better I am starting to get more confidence in myself, I'll keep you informed so keep your fingers crossed for me that I do better.

Bowling lessons

Wednesday Nan my bowling partner on wednesdays received bowling lessons from the mAnger of the bowling. He used to be on the tour for bowling (profession) and also a Glassbor boy and went to school with our son Joe, he gave me many hints as to what I was during wrong and I had 3 spares and one strike so if I can remember all of his instructions I should be a better bowler. Time will tell.

I am getting the hang of it.

Well after some really MISERABLE days of bowling and getting really discourged things are starting to look up JUST A LITTLE.I did good on friday and had a nice day 145 the first game then down hill a 95 ugh. the third game a 156 so I felt really encourged and seem to getting my confidence back, hope it continues but as we say it is always better then sitting at home,

Sixty Three Years

Monday ajune 28th Sam and I celebrated our 63rd wsdding anniversary, it was a very warm muggy day in 1947 we were married at 10:00 am in St, Andrew Lutheran church in South Perkaise, Pa it is the church that I attended as a child were I was Confirmed also.

The Wedding

The wedding was a very nice affair we all really enjoyed every single day of our time in San Anders.We went on so many tours in an open air island style bus on a trip around the island and many beaches some were just breath taking. The boat ride was a truth experience since we had to take a barge out to the boat the return trip on the barge was scary for me as we had to jump from barge to dock I just froze and a man from boat just picked me up jumprd to the dock and carried me to beach.
The wedding on the beach was just beautiful just like a scene fro a movie if you look at Kathy's pictures you will understand, the reception and dinner after was very nice and all the decorations were so lovely there was a show two couples dancing they put dancing with the stars to shame so good. Then came a festival band which we all loved too plus watcing all Marcela" relatives dance Alec was up there jumping and having a good time. WE left to come home wednesday morning flew to Panama and had a 6 hour lay over and off to JFK and arriving there at 2'30AM the bus picked us up arrived at tom' house at 6:00am and home for us at 7:00 am it was a wonderful time and so glad we were able to attend this happy time for Ryan and Marcela.

The Wedding

Vacations

Sam and I spent the last two weeks in the Bahamas (our time share) we love the nice warm weather and seeing all our friens from Florida, Tenneessee, Missouri and Canada but its good to come home too. We came home saturday nite about 9:30 pm enough time to unpack do the laundry open two weeks of mail py the bills and get one day of bowling in to see all our bowling friends. Tomorrow nite at midnite we will all meet at Tom's house and take a bus to JFK to fly to Panama and then on to San Andres for Ryan and Marcela wedding which will be on the beach. It will be a really interesting vacation and everyone is looking forward to this time together. Sam and Anne Marie are taking Alec and Derek so it will be an good adventure for them as well especialy for Alec. Will fill you in after the trip.

AT LAST

We deserve this..... after a really miserable winter ,snow snow and more snow then came the rain so much people were bailing out their basements etc.

Now we have the most beautiful weather sunshine and really warm weather temperature in the 70's and oh how we are enjoying every bit of it.

It will be a beautiful Easther Day in the high 70's so every one can show off all their new spring clothes, Yay Yay.

Now we are waiting the birth of the twin boys due to arrive on monday morning we are thinking of you Brian and Rachael.

Snowy Bowling Day

We had snow again today but not as much as the weather people had predicted so Sam was not about to stay home. He addicted to bowling only 3 people showrd up because of the weather. They gave us a really good lunch it was just another man and the two of us to bowl and I did pretty well for my self and kept up with both of them really well. I ended up with 7 strikes(in 3 games) while Sam and the other fellow only had 2 so it was a good day and as Sam always says IT IS BETTER THEN SITTING AT HOME I am so glad we took up bowling.

Good Day for Sam

Today was a great day for Sam at bowling he had a high of 222 now that is a really good score. He had a clean game that means he had either a strike or spare in every frame. We were all so HAPPY for him. My scores are a different story my high of 132 then it was all down hill,BOO BOO but Wednesday is always another day.

Just what need more snow///////

After 26 inches of snow on saturday we now are getting clobbered again it started as snow then rain ,sleet and snow again everything is at a standstill so we have to just satay in and look out the window.

Yesterday the sun was shining around noon when we went to Pa. for the juneral of Clyde (sam's brother) , I just know the Angels were looking down giving him a nice farewell.
