Tennis Partners

I was at a party this afternoon with some church folks, and a friend said to me:  "I'm getting tired of reading the grass is green."    I had not idea what she was talking about!!  (and said as much)  She replied:  "Your Blog".    Ah yes, the last entry was about grass.  And she was complaining about how long it had been since I posted.

The truth is that I have been going through a stage of not being a writer any more.  I  just figured that phase of my life has passed. I've been completely unmotivated.  (Or perhaps I was just waiting for someone to inspire me to blog again.)

I celebrated a birthday on Friday.  The morning was filled with tennis doubles.  I have been subbing with Gerry's men's doubles group on Friday mornings.  It has been so much fun.  I have  learned what good partners we are in tennis, at least in that context.  Our skills are complimentary  [as in the rest of our lives].  I have played with "the guys" for the past three weeks.  Gerry and I have won almost every set we have played.  Good, vigorous, delightful, competitive tennis!

So when daughter and son-in-law came for the weekend and we played against the youngsters,  I had more confidence than I have ever had before,  playing with them.  We usually have managed to win at least one game when playing  them.  This time, we won three!  That was a pretty big thrill!

It's been a lovely three day birthday party for me!  It's kind of nice to have so many well wishes from loved ones and friends!
