Back in the 1960’s, bowling was a popular pastime. I remember my parents, Grandpa and Grandma Edds, belonged to two leagues. What made those bowling nights special to me was my grandmothers’ babysitting. I would go to Great Grandmother Edds’ house on Wednesday nights and to Great Grandmother Embry’s on Saturday nights. These regular weekly visits provided precious one-on-one time and bonded us like no large family gatherings ever could. Echoing that tradition, Trey Davey and Benji have recently been spending Thursday nights with Grandpa and Grandma Edds. This began five weeks ago when Daddy Dave started a class and Sandy Mama had to work late. Since then the foursome has had a regular weekly dinner date. Given this arrangement’s popularity, it looks like future Thursday nights will be free for Sandy and me. Maybe we’ll join a bowling team.
