This past Saturday Night, my brother often referred to as ‘Abercrombie’ came down from ‘Somewhere Pennsylvania’ to hang out with me. Just like he’s been doing for the last several weekends In A Row. And, it’s been absolutely wonderful spending so much ‘Quality Time’ with my beloved ‘Broham’.
My mother also enjoys getting to hang out with her two children.
So much that she offered to ‘Re-create’ some of our ‘Favorite Childhood Memories’ by taking us to ‘Burger King’ followed by some ‘Bowling’.
Now, I could tell you all about our evening in great detail.
But.
I’d rather show you.
[I know most of us don’t have too much free time to sit around all day and watch YouTube movies. So, keep in mind this video moves very quickly. Therefore ya’ll need to pay attention! And, please feel free to have a ‘Hearty Laugh’ at ‘My Expense’!]
Enjoy!
Clearly, my mother and my brother are much better bowlers than I will ever be. And yes. It’s official. I am in fact *special* .

Your doing things differently looks like it has been very effective. You are gorgeous. You bowl like I do. I am consistently beaten by my 7 year old. With or without gutter guards.
That was awesome!!! You have a lovely family.
I once bowled a 19. 😀
Aww, I'm not a good bowler either. You'll get better!
Your doing things differently has obviously been fabulous. You look gorgeous. You bowl like I do. I am consistently beaten by my 7 year old.
Fabulous Meleah – and your brother…..mmmmmmmm I know why you call him Abercrombie ….yummy ! You look great and your Momma well she just rocks XXOO
BRAVA!!!….what a freakin' GREAT video!!!!!
One of these days, if we should ever get together, I need you tell me how you do all those cool things with your videos – they're brilliant, girl!
Everytime I see pictures or videos of your family, I want so bad to meet them because they look like the FUNNEST group of people.
And I was DYING laughing at your bowling because I bowl the same way. I too am a very “special” bowler. I get the award for the most gutter balls – HA!
Wonderful post, my Libra bud!

Bowling is awesome. One problem… I was in a car accident and messed up some fingers on my right hand. No joke, the ONLY time they start to hurt again is when I bowl. Hockey, football, boxing, pulling my fingers do nothing. Bowling, pain comes back.
Thank you. A 19? Wow! I was happy with my 23!
I may never bowl again!
Just kidding. I did have a good time.
We did have a lot of fun!
When my brother and I were little we came up with names for each other.
I called him Abercrombie, he called me Melebatoast.
Neither one of us knew Abercrombie was a REAL store
And neither one of us knew Melbatoast was a kind of bread.
But to this day, that's what we call each other!
And I will let him know you think he's good looking.
He could use an ego boost!
Why thank you Ronnie C. And if you are ever in NJ feel free to look me up
because you are TOTALLY invited to hang out with us!
That's weird
Aw. Thank you for that lovely compliment! You made my day!
I dont think I will ever beat my mom or my brother – but I sure had fun trying!
That is so fun – What a great night!! I love to bowl but it kills the nails as they tend to snap off as I release the ball… ARGH!!
As a back I try WII bowling that is fun!!!
Man, I love bowling but I haven't been in years. I think I get too embarrassed asking for the size 10 shoes.
Hm… Maybe I would be better at WII Bowling!
And, it wont cost me a penny!
Ahahahahaah.
I get embarrassed asking for a six 6. I have freakishly SMALL feet!
I love that you put “Burger King” in quotes.
Ahahahahah
You are such a crack up 🙂
Did you love the dancing?
You are special and both you and I know why…..Your Rockin the Smurf shirt!!!!
HELLZ YEAH! And, I totally thought of YOU when I was getting dressed!
See, that just warms my heart girl! Someday, we shall have adult beverages and laugh our asses off for hours. Someday, I just know it!
Yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was freakin' HYSTERICAL!!! I loved your mom rockin' it after her strike 🙂
I did have one thought throughout though. Maybe it's like the golf. Maybe you couldn't bowl 'cause your brother was watching? You should try it once without him and see if you're better…
and video it, of course! 🙂
You didn't do the Twinkle Toes move before you threw the ball. Go watch the Flintstones for a refresher coarse on how to do it right. You have such a great family. I want to go bowling, and we live about a block from an alley, but my kids do not want to go bowling with their mom. sigh
Ahahhaaha. Maybe I can't bowl in front of my brother! Ahahahhahahah! I don't think I can do ANY sports in front of my brother!
I'm so happy you enjoyed my video! It was a really fun night. And I am all about preserving these kind of 'Moments In Family History'!
HA! My 13 year old son wont go ANYWHERE 'In Public' with me. Yanno he's too cool now. Or, he's just worried I might bust out the 'dance moves' I did at the Bowling Alley!
Those were most splendid dance moves! I haven't forgotten to send your
insomnia kit, I just haven't gotten around to it. It's on my list.
Oh take your time! You're a BUSY woman!
xoxoxo
burger king and bowling.. now that's what i call having it your way. watched the video and it looked like you all were having a rocking time.
Ahahahha! I love you Val! You rock!!
It's so wonderful that you and you're family are so close and spend all that time together.
I think another video of Gramma Evelyn would put the icing on the cake. All in favor say “I”.
Maybe you could ask her to comment on your fantastic bowling skills. ;~}
Mucho love
I love you back!
I haven't seen Gramma Ev in a while.
But, the next time I do, I will be sure to capture her on video!
Oh I love that song and you worked it in really well with the video. I am not much of a bowler. However once- I got a little liquor in me and I bowled 7 strikes in a row. One qualifier about that… I bowled the first four in the last 2 frames of a game and then the next three in the following game. STILL I WAS AWESOME. Much like you are. :o)
I should take my children bowling soon.
Shut Up! That is AWESOME! Maybe you're a natural?
I love that song too. And thank you for watching the video!
xoxo
Meleah delivered the fun night as promised. Sorry for this, I really did have a good laugh over how Meleah bowled. Did she do it purposely to entertain us? 🙂
Love the 'I Rock At Bowling' dance.' You have such a lovely family. I think that every time I see your photos. Plus your brother is very cute. Looks like everyone had fun!
Ah bowling, something I haven't done in years. I think if I went bowling right now I'd make a mockery of the sport … LOL!
Nope! You just witnessed The Very First Time Meleah has EVER bowled in her whole life!
I will let my brother know you said so!
xooxox
Well I have been to a bowling alley before, but I have never ACTUALLY bowled before! So it was fun!
OHMYGAW!
This was so fun and funny. You bowl like I do, only you look way more cuter than I ever could. I love your family — especially your adorable mom's little victory dance.
Thanks for sharing this.
YAY! Thanks JD!
I wish you could HEAR my BIG GRIN over here!!! What a GREAT video! Hey, you need to eat a hamburger or something… OK, I'm just jealous at how FABULOUS you look!
Did you do that video? It was done really well!
Sometimes you never know just how wonderful something so old (bowling) can bring smiles, laughter, happiness, memories which are priceless..
Although they might tell you not to ever consider making bowling your sport.
lol

WOW! We were watching Meleah very First virgin bowl! LOL! I thought it was pretty good for the first time. You'll surely get better if you want to. 🙂
I've only bowled on video games. I suck 😛
Fun photos Meleah. You look hot as usual an ur family is lovely.
Hahaha! Yes, Meleah, you are special, but not in THAT way! LOL!
Fun vid. No worries, I've had my share of bowling balls slide down the gutter, and now I can't bowl at all! What? Two torn rotator cuffs, two gammy ankles and a dodgy knee? Not to mention The Back? Hmm… maybe I should. I'd look darned good if I knocked ANYTHING over, huh? ROFL!
