Pickleball Tuesday 7-8-08

We played pickleball this morning and had 12 !!! We set a new record !!! We also had some heavy rain over the weekend and it wiped out our chalk. Ken, Bob T. and I were chalking the court this morning and a young girl came on the court straight over to me. She said she wanted to help so I gave her a piece of chalk and she helped us mark the courts. We had seen her last week when she watched us through the fence. Her name is Katelin and she was one of the 12. Bob gave her his extra paddle and she played with us. Bokson and her neighbor also came for their first time. Her neighbor used to live on the north side of The Villages and used to play pickleball there. Her name is Barb. She hadn't played in about a year and a half but after she hit some balls she was pretty good.
The pickleball players today were Bob T., Katelin, Steve, Lynne S., Bokson, Barb, Ron, Sharon, Bob H., Anne and Ken and I. We didn't quit playing till 15 till 12:00.
And our brave mascot, Bridget slept through it all. We are thinking about renaming her Pickles.
