Yes!!!

We had our second fall tennis league match yesterday.  Even though our team lost 2 of the 3 matches My partner, Jack, and I came through with a win. We fell in the first set 3-6 but came back in the second set 7-5.  We were ahead 4-0 and then blinked-- all of a sudden we were even 4-4.  In the 10 point tie breaker we prevailed 10-5.  The competative juices were in full force and it was fun! Tennis is a funny sport.  It seems that seldom are both people at their best so often one player has to carry the match and and in a nanosecond the other player needs to step up.  When both are on, of course it is fun.  I talked to one of the guys who lost to us.  He said he was mad and then hastened to say he was mad at himself, not me.  He said they beat themselves.  I replied that it is funny but if we had lost we would have said the same thing, we beat ourselves.
Our weather continues to be almost summer like.  This morning we got just enough rain to cancel our match and then 10 minutes later it was sunny.  By that time the clay was too slippery to play on.  The normal temps are in the low 80's but we have been in the high 80's and have even hit 90 some times.
I am in the middle of a huge picture project and I think I took too too many pictures in the past.  BUT when I get to the pictures on the computer that will be even worse.
Our 6 tennis courts are being redone.  They put almost 3000 lb of new clay on each court.  With wind and rain, the clay errodes.  It gets to the point that any hit on a line is crazy and almost impossible to hit so at that point the courts need to be redone so the tape, the lines, are not protruded above the clay.  I do  not know how often the courts need to be redone but I do know it costs about $2500 per court to get the work done. 
No, I have enjoyed my break from the picture project but it is back to work.
