My Boy Genius

Tony made the honor roll at school with a 3.25 average. Here he is with his report card and $40 ($10.00 for each A from Mimi and Big D) YEAH TONY!!. They got to have a bowling party and miss school one morning for their party so he was happy. He also got to give Leonard a spanking (the deal they made if Tony made the honor roll.) Tony's grades were crap at the first of the school year and Leonard made him bring them up. It was high drama with Tony being grounded, having all his game systems taken away, no TV the whole deal. It was especially painful for Charlee to see her baby getting the smack down but it was the best thing in the world for Tony.

I have to hand it to Leonard, he really worked hard to see that Tony brought up his grades. I am really thankful to him that he put forth the effort for my grandson. Leonard knows what happens to kids who lose focus and have no one to steer them back on course. Leo is living proof that people can change their lives. So a big shout out to my son in law for all his hard work and love for Tony.

Well last night was our last night of league bowling. We ended up in a tie for 3-4-5 place with games won. We actually ended up in 5th places after they went to pin fall to decide places. We won $312.00 for the team, and Leonard won a 200 game patch and $10.00 for being one of the high handicap men. It was sure fun and we will all miss it until next fall. We bowled 3 games of no tap ( where if you knock over 9 pins, it counts as a strike). It's way harder than it seems. We still got our butts kicked but we had a lot of fun. Cliff was fit to be tied cause he was sure he would break his streak and break 200, but no luck.

Tonight is the Budweiser Shootout at Dayton. NASCAR season Yeah-Hell-Yeah!!!
