Turns out the arcade in Bastrop had a BOWLING alley, so like bees to honey we zoomed over there. Willie was high score both games with 134, but I was close behind due to my spare and spectacular strike in the last frame. Willie has a special bowling technique (perfected years ago at the Pico Bowling League with the two 90 year old instructors) that seems to work for him - it's a grab the ball from the rack and in the same movement toss it down the lane with great speed and a huge bump.. literally it does not land upon the lane until 1/3 of the way down... but I must admit he is quite accurate and his scores prove it!
Katherine was not far behind us as she seems to be a star athlete at any sport she touches (Did I tell you she was one of only two female tennis players selected to represent Texas in the Special Olympics Nationals in 2010 - and by the way she qualified in golf too...) Kim, on the other hand...well, let's just say I was firmly told "A Texas lady does not reveal her bowling scores". As an aside, the young preacher in the lane next to us had a 211 game - 6 strikes in a row (Willie pointed out in bowling lingo that's a "double turkey")
Sticking successfully to my goal of dieting yet eating healthy, I had popcorn, Texas Root Beer, and hot-off-the-fire S'Mores for dinner last night. I heard Willie munching on peanut M&M's at 3:00am but of course I did not ask for a few as that is most definately NOT on my healthy diet.
