"The Little Cassie that Could"

As some of you know, I am taking a bowling class right now. I am a terrible bowler so my goal for the class was to bowl over 100 points in a game (the highest score possible is 300 so this goal is pretty pathetic but oh well). After three weeks of this class I didn't seem to be showing any improvement other than gaining consistency in my poor skills.......until this Thursday! We learned several different ways to "release" the ball. I always have bowled straight but we learned three different ways to bowl a curve ball. The first one I tried just didn't work for me. I was ready to just give up and go back to my straight bowling but I decided to try one more of the new ways. Good thing I did too because me and that method are now best friends! I BOWLED 127 POINTS!!! And the next game I bowled 104! Twice in one day......that is a true sign of improvement! Oh happy day!

Were they bored or inspired?

Once upon a time I was in my apartment at about 5:30 pm putting away groceries. All of the sudden there was a knock upon my door. With one hand holding my instant potatoes I opened the door to find two young men standing there. By my estimations, one was 12 and the other was 16. The older one handed me a long-stemmed red rose and told me that it was for me. I quickly thanked them but asked if there was a motive behind their strange actions. They told me that they thought that I needed a rose today. What could I say to that?! So I thanked them again and closed the door. I think that is one of the most random things that I have ever experienced in my life! I won't complain though :)
