THERE WAS LAUGHTER

 Yesterday was an awesome day.  There was laughter here.  The staff talked to me. We joked around. I watched part of a  Medea movie with my staff. No one was negative toward me. The vibe in the house was chill. I was happy.

Wanna know what the coolest part of the day was? I went bowling!

 In college, I was on a bowling team of adults with disabilities. We bowled every Sunday at the old Arnea bowling alley in the city of  St. Louis. I loved it. It was the one thing I could do with minimal assistance. (Well, I can play the slots by myself since they got rid of that pesky arm and replaced it with a button.  I digress.)  

I used another player's bowling. ramp. I had a powder blue bowling ball with my name on it. We had a bowling banquet every year. I won several trophies.

I bowled a few times last year. I did not bowl during the winter. I hope i can go bowling more often now that spring has arrived. The weather is gorgeous.

I am fortunate to be a client of this agency. If I lived in a nursing home I would not be able to go bowling. In case you are interested I bowled two games. My score was 102 in the first game. I got three strikes.  My score in the second game was 91. No strikes in that game. It's all in how you position the ramp. I appreciate that bowling alleys have ramps available now.

My dad was a bowler. It's something we have in common. I wish he could have seen me bowl. I feel a connection to him when I am bowling.

I got a Greek salad from Panera on the way home. A perfect way to cap off the day. Thank you, Niejsa for a great day!
