Pickleball @ Cleveland Park Tuesday 8-19-08

It was another good day at the pickleball courts today. Some of our group that was missing last week were back but some are still gone. We had 11 players today.....Barb, John, Steve, Ralph, Anne, Ron, Sharon, Lynne S., Bob H., and Ken and I. We needed one more to make it 12. Most of the time we had 2 doubles courts going and 1 court with canadian doubles. We were all very considerate of the lady tennis players and we all walked around to our courts and not through theirs. We don't want to create any enemies with the tennis players.
Sharon said that she called the parks department and asked them to paint lines on the courts for us. They said that they were aware of us playing and that they would consider painting the lines. So thank you Sharon for doing that!
When we got home we had the new order of balls waiting for us. We were pleasantly surprised to see that Doug sent us a "baker's dozen" of balls.....12 yellow and 1 orange. We've really started breaking some balls lately.
We got some good news from our new player Mike that he received his new paddle today but also some bad news that he won't be able to play for 2 weeks because of a skin cancer removed from his ankle.
We missed Bokson today. She had to return to work today.
We had some really good games today and a good time was had by all. Looks like we are going to have to play on Thursday because of tropical storm Fay.
C U on D courts......Lynn
