Busy September!!

9-29-11 - We have been busy watching, soccer games on Saturday's, since Jada our youngest granddaughter is just about 10 yrs. old. So that has been fun and also watched some girls volleyball. Earlier in Sept. watched Jessie our granddaughter who is at Bellevue College play until she jammed her left shoulder. She had been off for about two weeks and was just about to start playing when she came down with Mono. So that means no playing for a month. So that meant that we probably won't get a chance to see her play anymore this year.

Soo, if that is the case, we will be heading to AZ as soon as we can get packed and have all our ducks in a row. Which also meant having to rent one of our apartment units. Just got a call last Saturday a lady was moving. So have been busy with that hopefully have it rented before our departure date of Oct. 17th.

Always some to keep these grand parents busy. Finishing up yard work, repairing some stuff, etc. There is light in the tunnel and our weather has been pretty good, with some sun and temps into the 70's for some of the days. But the way the leafs have been coming off the trees I think that fall is right around the corner. Time is getting short before we hit the trail.

Catching Up!

8-29-9-4 - Had our annual Pickleball Tournament at TT, La Conner. the group was smaller this year but had a good time. Played Women's Doubles on Thursday and Ione won gold in her group. Then on Friday we had men's doubles and I played with Mike Phipps, since this was the first time playing together we did good. Made it to the finals and had to play a 55 yr. old and a 62 yr. old. We played our first two out of three and just about won first game, like 11-9. Then ended up in the loser bracket and came back, had to play them again. We ended up the same way, one close game and lost second for second place.

Then on Sat was mixed doubles, I played with Vi Stockman and Ione played with grandson Colby. We both won our first games, then of all things had to play each other in the second match. Colby & Ione won first game and we came back and won the next two. Then played on until we ended playing for first. Ended up getting second.

This wasn't the same tournament, since our friends from Canada weren't there to organize it. So a person working for TT did it and it wasn't as nice, but OK. Again got to see lots of friends and met some new folks. HAPPY PICKLEBALLING!!
