I Bowled A Clean Game!

Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty 442805 Ohio

Every Wednesday from September to May, I spend a fun afternoon with some wonderful older ladies bowling at the Freeway Lanes in Wickliffe, Ohio.

My average is just so-so at 129.

But, Today I Bowled A Clean Game!

My Score was 197

It was very exciting!   As I was getting closer and closer to the 10th frame I was definitely nervous and wondering if I could hold it together and not choke!  And I am happy to say that I did not choke!

Yippee!  :)

I don't hear of many people bowling anymore like I did when I was younger.  I  joined the league about 6 years ago and did so because of my girlfriend, her mother runs the league. 

Most of the women we bowl with are in their late 70's to late 80's.    At one time I had a great fear of getting older as both my mother and grandmother died at the age of 63.  That fear is now long gone as I've watched these amazing women live a long and full life.  They are my inspiration!

I am also so grateful for their failthful support of me in my business and I love how honest they are with with my marketing.  It is so cute, when I send something out to them, they all call me or mention it the next time I see them and they give me their honest feedback - thumbs up or thumbs down!

It was fun today bowling a clean game - who knows when that miracle will happen again!

197 is a heckuva score Christine.  How far over your high game is that?

Gutter balls? Don't they have those things that fill in the gutters at your lanes? I still have yet to break 90, but I am really good bowling with the Wii. Does that count?

Oh Sarah, I still throw plenty of those.  My clean game is more of a miracle than skill!  LOL

Scott, I had one 201 game in the past 6 years.  Don't know if I'll ever see that again!

Absolutely Kathy - it all counts!
