Terry and I arrived in Naples a week ago yesterday. I am getting a bit better but I still am not all here! I think much of it is due to Terry's health. She is battling pain pretty much all the time which means NO activity. I am hoping that we can get some new answers this coming Friday as we see a pain doctor here.
I played tennis Monday-Friday. My team had it's first match Monday and for the first time in many matches we took all three points. There are 3 matches each meet. We call them court 1, 2 and 3. It is supposed to be that the stronger players are on court 1 and the least skilled are on 3. I had not played tennis since May so I played court 2. My partner, Rusty, and I lost the first set, got our feet under us and won set 2. That meant there would be a 10 point tie breaker with the winner having to win by 2 points. We had a good start and were ahead 5-2 and then lost the next 3 points. We surged ahead again at 8-5 and as Rusty was about to serve I turned to him and said, "This is a really important point"! After I said it I wondered how Rusty took it. We did win 10-5 and after the match Rusty asked me why in the world I said that!!!! Well! This Monday we play a team that won their 3 matches so it will be interesting. The fall league is very different than the winter. Many teams scramble for players as they often come in October and then go again the month of December. Our pro described the fall league as kind of a spring training. Anyway I am back into tennis and for now my back seems to be good.
Our home here is still not put away as I am not used to taking charge of that but slowly things are being put away and it will get done.
The weather, not into it yet. I played a bit of tennis yesterday PM and it was HOT. I think it was in the mid 80s with some humility so different than St. Paul in November.
This summer I read zero books as I was into the wood shop etc but I have already read 2 books here so that is good.
No tennis this weekend and then our second match on Monday.
Enough for now.
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
