Pickleball Thursday 4-9-09

Finally the wind calmed down some what today so that some of us could get out and play some pickleball. The past few days the wind has blown something awful with strong gusts. Now tomorrow the rain comes back. Oh well, we did have a good time today. There were 7 players for pickleball today.....Jan, Bob T., Ralph, John, Johnny, Ken and I. We got very excited when we saw Lynne S. pull into the parking lot but she was only dropping by to give something to Ron and Sharon who were not there. Apparently Lynne S. got a bunch of blisters on her heels from hiking last Saturday and can't put shoes on with heels now. I told her she should have been playing pickleball with us instead and she would not be in this predicament. She agreed. We enjoyed seeing her anyway and having a short visit. Frank, the park ranger also came by to visit and sit a while with us. We haven't been able to talk him into trying pickleball yet. We had some good games and when Bob, Jan and I were out we tried playing Cut Throat. That's a different way for 3 to play. It was fun too. Of course Bob beat Jan and I though. But that's ok as Bob has been playing pickleball everyday down in Florida over the winter. We have not. I wish Anne would come back to play with us. We also miss our other players that seem to be doing something else. Steve and Mike have gone back to work. Go figure that one! And Ron and Sharon are on vacation.
I hope that next week will be a better week for pickleball. Remember, if you think of anyone that would like to try pickleball bring them along.
Hope to C U on D Courts......Lynn......P.S. I have pictures below and above from today.
