All told, between my brother and sister, I received $80 in Westgate Lanes gift cards for Christmas, which should take care of practice for the near future. My sister also gave me a miniature tabletop bowling game (where you roll a steel ball on a miniature lane at miniature pins) as a stocking stuffer.
Last night, however, I saw Dave, Debbie, and Melissa, the bowling cousins, and Dave related to me that he recently shot his first games of 200 or over, so I congratulated him on the accomplishment. I’ve been casually following their Friday night TNBA League and I noted to Melissa the improvement she has made since the summer. I don’t know if the family is going to get together for bowling while my cousins from Texas are in town, but Debbie did tell me prior to Christmas that if anything happens, it would be something spontaneous and not planned. I did ask her, however, to call me if anything came up.
