YESTERDAY---More gain, we played fairly well but more pain too. Our third court fell 3-6 and 3-6. Our second court won their first set, lost their second set in a tie breaker and lost the match in a tie breaker. My teammate, Rich, and I lost the first set in a tie breaker, won the second set and lost the match in a tie breaker. A fun time but with disappointing results. Playing at the 3.0 level is certainly more fun and adds to ones game so we will take the matches in stride and move on to the next week. We have 3 more fall matches left and then a 3 week break before winter season. It will be a learning season for sure but on the far end we should all be playing a better game. Here is hoping this body of mine holds up. I have had NO injuries this fall but that darn back lets me know that all is not perfect. As I lay in bed this morning ready to get up the muscles in my right shin kept tightening up which kind of pulled my toes towards my upper body. Oh my to be even 50 again---no I am fine where I am.
A relaxing stay at home Thanksgiving for Terry and I. Her son Brian and his wife Tammy are on their way here now and will arrive perhaps on Friday. We will have our turkey/dressing etc. after they arrive.
As I type I see that the temp in Naples is 68. For many many Thanksgiving Days the measure, weather wise, was whether it was freezing in the garage or not! I am guessing it is doing that in St. Paul today.
I am not getting on with some of my winter projects yet. It is not a matter of lazy or anything, just not into things at this time.
Actually I may start to print our Christmas cards today. They are ready to go so only need to decide who they go to, get the labels and print out the cards. It would be nice to get that done by the end of next week. Maybe I should just cut this short and get to work. My FP is history for the day and I am, at this moment, ready to do some work.
Again, to anyone who happens to read this have a very very happy Thanksgiving and may the coming Advent season be a blessing in surprising ways.
Glad to hear you had a nice quiet day. I'm stuffed! All are gone but had a great time except for the Cowboys ridiculous play in their game today! Boo! Still have some dishes to do. I need to get off my butt and get my house ready to sell and find something smaller as everyone likes me to have these dinners as I have the most room!!! Then I get stuck with all the clean up! I did catch on eventually :-)! I really don't mind and when I am able to find something smaller I'd still like the open concept and I'd host all the time. The friends I had over today all get along and laugh and have a good time and everyone does pitch in and help. No Black Friday sales for me tomorrow. Not interested in fighting the crowds! Looking forward to my early Christmas with Joan's and have my shopping done for that trip and will get those mailed. Enjoy your time with family coming in this weekend and hang in there in your tennis, you're doing just fine by being out there and being active. That's what it's all about. Love Helen
