It was mostly cloudy but a really nice day for pickleball. About 64 degrees and not too much wind. Several of us were in shorts and t-shirts. Marj and David came back today with their new paddles. Both have tennis and racquetball backgrounds so they picked up the game right off the bat. There were 10 pickleball players today. Present were Ron, Sharon, Steve, Ralph, Jan, Johnny, Marj, David, Ken and I.

We had an email from Bing this week. He took a fall back on Jan. 19 and hurt himself pretty bad.

He says he is about healed up but isn't quite ready for competitive play. Mike did not show this week. Evidently life intervened. Sharon talked to Anne and she seems to be doing pretty good and hopes to come back next week. We look forward to her joining us again.

Lynne S. stopped by today for a visit. She was still working but was in the area. We hated that she would not be able to play this week but Friday looks bad weatherwise.

Hope to get in some good pickleball next week. Lynn

Pickleball Friday 2-06-09

We had a beautiful day for PICKLEBALL. Sunny, slight breeze and 65 degrees. This balmy day brought out a full complement of P'ballers including two new players - David & Marj. They have both played tennis and racquetball and had no trouble getting into the game. Other players: Jan, Jan's sister Joann, Joanie, Bob H, Steve, Ralph, Mike K, Sharon and Ron. So, for a while we had eleven players. We moved players all around, and had lots of good games. It was nice playing without the 'wind-factor' for a change. We played for 2 hrs and 45 minutes.

Our next match is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 @ Timmons.
