1-03 - 1-29-09 We arrived at Happy Trails on the 3rd of January. Then it was time to practice for the up coming Happy Trails Classic. Since leaving 25 inches of snow in Lynden it was hard to get in the swing of playing pickleball. After only one week of practice the games began.
Ione & I had new partners this year so it was sort of hard to really do well. I think Bob Robillard and I won two games and lost two games. So no medals for us and Ione also played with Bob but didn't win any medals. Then when it came time for singles we had some good matches. I played some good games and couldn't get past Therence Dixon and he got gold and I got the silver. Then Ione played some great games in the ladies singles matches and came away with no medals. So the Giengers just came away with one silver medal.
Then the last week before heading to Palm Springs we played some tennis and lots of pickleball. I also went over to Sun City Grand for two wednedays and practiced singles. We usually had about 5 people each week for a two hour practice session. Out time on Lot 651 seemed to really go by fast but very enjoyable.
Our big highlight for January is that our Granddaugther Jessica and two friends will be coming to visit us at Happy Trails. This will be happening on the 5th of April and they will be with us for about four or five days. Should be lots of fun.
