3rd THIS WEEK

This week's tournament was fun the first day, but very cold!! Bill and I won all four games and we both played extremely well. That was on Wednesday - we went back on Friday for the finals. The first game was a disaster to say the least! Everything we did went wrong. I guess our minds weren't in the game. I had gotten up at 2am that morning to have Stan at the hospital in Harlingen by 6am. He was to have a heart cath. Was not sure what they would find as previous tests showed there was something not right with his heart. I left him at 7am, drove back to Weslaco, ate breakfast at McDonald's, drove on to Pharr for the tournament. That same morning Bill's daughter in Canada was undergoing surgery for a tumor that would very possibly be cancerous, as she has had cancer in the past. So, it's no wonder we didn't do well in the first game. I think we just wanted to get the second game overwith ASAP so we trounced our opponents so bad they gave up and quit in the 14th frame. So, we ended up with 3rd Main. We were both pleased and completely shared the blame for the one loss. Stan's heart cath. turned out good - no blockages - PTL!!! Bill's daughter was not so lucky - they think the tumor was cancerous, but won't know for sure till the biopsy tests come back in two weeks. We'll keep her in our prayers. Happy Shuffling & God Bless!
