Bowler's Prayer

I found this on a shelve down in the basement. I saw it and ignored it many years ago but this time I picked it up and brought it upstairs. I gave it to Becky to maybe sell on eBay after it got cleaned up a little. The frame is metal and it can hang somewhere. I wonder where it was in our house so many years ago.

Looking at this thing made me think about the time in my life when I liked to go bowling. The last time I did any bowling was probably at least 50 years ago and maybe more. I have to think about it.

I really don't think I ever went to a bowling alley in Buffalo. At least to go bowling. I think I did stop into Volker's Lanes one time for a beer. 

I remember that my mother was an avid bowler in her younger days. She went out bowling with the parish ladies league once a week back in the day. She really needed that time away from all the kids. When I found this thing I thought of my mom.
