Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.

Hmm, I had my own bowling shoes and ball. I couldn’t stand the battered footwear, and most of the bowling balls were too heavy for me.

Blessings,
Susan 🙂

Thank you!

I don’t think you offended too many people. Ãœ

Our bowling alley’s were always smoky and dark. The newer ones are much better, thank goodness. But the shoes, they never seem to change:)

I actually love to bowl. And I didn’t realize the ugly shoes were subjective, lol.

My apologies to any bowling enthusiasts I may have offended.

It really helps to be reminded of all the little details that can go into things. Especially when you get stuck on what to choose.

Boy, do I hate bowling. Squeezing on USED, smelly, ugly shoes for the dubious pleasure of making a fool of myself trying to knock over a bunch of pins — AND spending money to do it! Give me the science museum any day.
