Christmas with Gabriel

Today was a fun day spent with our grandson, Gabe, and his other grandparents, Steve and Diana. We enjoyed a nice visit, ate some wonderful Mexican food, and then off to Ten Pin Alley for some competitive bowling. Somehow, I think I must have the wrong idea of what it takes to win at bowling, because I kept bowling close to my age!!! Which isn't 300!! Anyway we had a good time and I am amazed at how fast Gabe is growing up and we are almost exactly the same height. He opened his gifts and enjoyed trying out his scooter before our bowling adventure. They gave us a neat photo key chain that holds 60 digital photos, and Diana had already put some of Gabe's recent pictures on it. It is a very nifty little photo album that you can carry with you.

Gabe is growing into a nice young man, and will be in high school next year. Wow, where does the time go?? Our Christmas "journey" has been so "enjoyable" today, and we look forward to the upcoming week as more memories are made. Tomorrow I will meet my sweet sister for some "secret" Santa activities! Ho! Ho! Ho!

What a great looking young man you have for a grandson...He looks like he could really roll that bowling ball. I know you had a great time with him..

Virginia-Your score didn't seem to be going in the right direction. :-) Can't be good at everything right? Leon what was your score? If
Tammy was right with Virg's score that wasn't hard to beat. :-) When we were stationed in Okla. I bowled on several league's and my good friend thought she would join. I said we would go bowl one time and see if you have it.Dave-Danny-her & I went. Well after a real twenty something, she said maybe I won't join until I learn how to keep the ball from going down the drain.....I said good idea Karen. (DRAIN--I said Gutter) She said same place!!!! I haven't bowled in 20 years and every now & then think about all the fun it was. Danny hated bowling & bingo. Bowling is a fun sport to do as adults and kids. Enjoy and keep bowling, you can only get better--I HOPE??????
