Nintendo wii! My mother-in-law Thelma wii bowling a 155!!!

She is spending Thanksgiving with us and having some fun with E3's new wii while the turkey is roasting. It was her 1st time ever playing video games and she has a high of 155 so far. Wii rocks!

Happy Thanksgiving and peace-filled days, Planet Flickr!

At first I thought it said she was bowling *at* 155, meaning she was 155 years old. Yikes! I'm glad I re-read it. Gotta love Wii bowling!
