So, last night the Mister and I were riding with our friend Doug, and we had to stop to pick up Doug's wife from her bowling league. I couldn't help but notice that every bowling lane seems to smell exactly the same!
Out of nowhere, Mister turns to me and asks, "Do you want to go bowling?" Mind you, this is coming from a guy whose idea of casual is wearing a tie with a loose knot. I suppose my expression was pretty priceless!
It turns out that when he was in college, he was on a bowling team. Surprise, surprise! I haven't bowled in years because to be honest, I'm horrible at it. Ever since he said that, though, I've felt the urge to knock down a few pins.
Any other farmgirls bowl?

My hubby and I used to bowl. He didn't care for that too much. I loved it. Let us know when you go bowling!

I will! I find I can hardly wait, oddly enough.

My son LOVES to bowl (his step mom is real big into bowling and takes him often when he visits his dad) and is always wanting to go. Since the closest place to me is over an hour away, we hadn't been. However, a bowling alley recently opened closer so I took him for his birthday-and boy was he surprised! I was really amazed that I had so much fun even though I had no idea what I was doing. He really enjoyed teaching me to bowl, lol. We're looking forward to going again.

The first time I went bowling with my husband neither of us had ever bowled. I was using the heaviest balls they had. I had no idea. The next day my wrist was the size of a cantaloupe!

That sounds like the friends we were with...Becky is on a league, Doug hates to bowl. I hope you can find somebody to bowl with!

Glad you got to have fun! It sounds like a perfect birthday present for him.

Ouch! My elbow is sending a sympathy card to your wrist...turns out I have to bowl with a brace if I want to be able to move my right arm for the next week. Amazing how those bowling balls make 'em swell up, isn't it?

I envy you! I have tried to learn pool, but my aim is a joke.

We like bowling too. We aren't great at it, but it's good clean fun.
We decided to have a bowling party last year for our anniversary. And every one really had fun. The only down side was the kids never wanted it to end, and cried when it was time to go home.

When I have gone bowling, it was only for fun and laughs, and we got plenty of both.
Heather, I think kids have more fun with bowling, they don't take it so serious.
Now my husband, I had to be sure to let him have more points than me. LOL Big baby!
