Thunder Cafe

No, it's not the name of the newest NASCAR-inspired themed restaurant, it is the name of the bowling alley near Rufina's home.

The other night Rufina, her sister, her mother and I all went to go bowl a round. After slow starts, Rufina and her sister started to improve their scores.

I typically start out strong and then fade. Case in point, I started with a strike, an 8 and a spare.

Rufina's sister, Tracy, sizes up the pins.

Once both Rufina and Tracy got the hang of it, their scores were quite close and it was a race to see who would win. Tracy tripped up on the last 2 frames while Rufina closed with a spare to finish second overall.
