So, apparently from reading this site, you are familiar with the fact that music is an important part of our family. Most of us associate music with the good and bad times in our lives. On occasion, a song comes on the radio and I just rock to the song. Sometimes though, it sparks a memory.
Today was one such day where listening to a song, a flashback happened and I thought I would share.
The song "Every Breath You Take" by the Police was playing on Jack FM. All of a sudden I had a flash back to when I was 10 years old. We had a step-father that was an avid bowler. He played in winter leagues all the time. This particular memory happened at a bowling alley, Delton Lanes to be exact.
Anyway, while Stan would bowl, us kids pretty much had the run of the place. We wouldn't sit and watch bowling (boooooriiinngggg) so we would run around, play video games, and munch on whatever we could buy with the money we begged off mom (usually fries or candy.)
At Delton, they had a room with a bunch of pool tables. This was our playground for the most part. If people were playing pool, we generally stayed away but if no one was over there, fun times were to be had. Sometimes the lights were off which made it even more fun to play a game of hide-and-seek or something similar. Mostly it was Tracy and I but occasionally, there were other kids who suffered from the same lack of wanting to watch as their parents bowled.
So, just wanted to share. Those times were always fun. As kids, we could find ways to entertain ourselves. Especially when there were other kids our age to hang out with.
Its funny how different things will spark a memory.

Was I ever there I don't remember that but then again those are the years I have blocked out of my existence!! Good Times eh?
No Nic, you are the little sister, we didn't do anything fun when you were around ;)
You were there, sort of... You would occasionally run around with us as a "tag along" but mostly you stayed by mom.
