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!!
