   Closing out for this week, we leave you with a short Bowler’s Thanksgiving Prayer:

           "Dear Lord, I have but one request, and I shall not ask for more,

That before I'm laid to rest, I might bowl a perfect score".

        From my house to yours, may you have a Happy Thanksgiving and a very a very FULLfilling day.
