It doesn't take much to make some people happy...

Most of my family is like that. But, this is going to be at the top of the list for a long time.

My niece (26) and nephew (30) live in FL. They are fanatic fans of the Orlando Magic. I got a call from them with B saying, "Patty, you won't believe this. A radio station..." G. interrupted and said, "Let me tell it."

A radio station was having a contest. The first 20 people to get to a certain sports store would play Wii bowling. The top two would win. B and G were the first two to arrive at the store. B bowled an 81 and G a 141. Some guy came along and bowled a 241. Then two girls bowled 143 and 147. So, B and G were losers. BUT, the radio station said they were having a raffle of those who hadn't won and B's name was called! She was the low score and the radio guys were saying they thought the low score should win a prize, so I wonder if they fixed the raffle. Doesn't matter. The prize: two tickets to.......................BOWLING WITH DWIGHT HOWARD.

Dwight is the center for the Magic. The Fanatics love him. Dwight loves to bowl and is having a fund raising event on Thursday. There will be Magic players, celebrities, friends, family and the Fanatics! I don't know how they are containing themselves. If you offered each of them a million dollars or bowling with Dwight, they'd go bowling!!

I told B to make sure she has good batteries and lots of memory for her camera. Can't wait for the phone call from the alley on Thursday!
