Summer Starts

The summer solstice doesn't hit for three more weeks, but if all goes as scheduled I might have my strongest summer yet. We started a semi-private adult/junior league Wednesday night, and Thursday we started the Adult/Junior Sport shot league we call Bragging Whiners. Tomorrow the Saturday morning leagues start with Sunday's regular adult/junior finishing the week out. The Saturday kids will feature bumpers, just off the bumpers, and a truly mixed up combination of all the rest of my juniors--from elementary to college age. It started two summers ago, and now the kids won't leave me alone until I promise they're all bowling together for the summer. They are, and the funniest part is it's the littlest ones who insist on pairing up as twos and forcing the older ones to plead to be on this team or that team. Safety in numbers, I guess. The best part is that the little ones seem to be inspired by the bigger ones and the bigger ones get to be treated like bowling gods. There is something about having a bunch of little kids cheering out someone's name and pointing any time the teen gets a turkey. It's just for summer, but it's always fun for me to watch them all grow.

Gotta Split,

Angel

P.S. to my better half: Happy Anniversary!
