[SportsandRec] recreation at arcaids

[Joseph Bundy]

Its ok. I don't mind spelling. I thought you said you lived in
Missouri. Did you live in the past. Maybe you could visit sometime. I
also want to visit the east coast. Have some friends out there and
plan to be that way this fall.

My uncle had the suffle board table. I don't think he does anymore. I
loved it. I played skiball at a bowling alley lived in nebraska and i
done it at an arcade here in Oklahoma. I think someone may of told me
on score sometimes but i didn't care. i know it made a sound when you
scored or different sound when you scored more. Its been a few years
since i played.

I love spending time with friends and family playing games. Its fun. I
just can't believe the price to buy accessible games. i think you have
my email so you can email or call/text any time. Would love to help
you figure out out to enjoy rec activities. They are one of my
favorite things.
