A week untill Thanksgiving

I started writing with the headlines of the last blog and then changed gears and posted about Cynthia's new baby.  I forgot to change the title so "Terry and I have been kind of busy"  of course has nothing to do with Cynthia's baby!
On to what I started to write about.  Some times the tennis Gods are good and sometimes they are not so much.  Yesterday they were GREAT.  Court #3 had 3 tie breakers.  They won the first set tie breaker, lost the second set tie breaker, got behind in the 10 point match tie breaker and then pulled it out 12-10.  A fun match.  My partner and I played court #1.  We won the first 6-0 and then promptly fell behind in the second 0-3, yikes.  We rallied to tie at 3-3 and the the score went 4-4, and 5-5.  In the next game they were serving and I am guessing we had 7 or 8 deuces.  We finally pulled it out and then served for the winning margin 7-5.  A fun day as we all know it is fun to play and more fun to win.  Actually to be on the court is a winning deal.  We have 3 fall matches left.  I will be down 2 good players next week, one of my best players is going north until after Christmas and another player is gone December 3 so it will be a challenge and also a chance for others to shine!
I play at 9:00 today but will stop 20 minutes early as Terry has a Dr. appt. at 10:45.  I would not be surprised if my play today is not up to yesterday.  Tennis has a way of doing that.  SO I will continue, for the next 50 minutes to believe that I am a very good player!!!
It is exciting to see a new healthy baby in the family.  Cynthia and Mike are at #8 now and "for sure" they will have their hands full.  I know they were kind of hoping for a girl to make it 4-4 but there is NO disappointment as baby Adkins is here and well.  No name yet so will fill that in when they decide.
That is about all for today.  Tennis at 9:00, Terry's appt will be over by 11:30 or so and then home by 12:00.  It may be book time after that.  I do need to start on our calendar books for 2020.  I do a page for each week and then put pictures in for all the 40+ birthdays so it usually takes a lot of time.  I then print each page off and take it to Staples to bind so I do have work ahead "for sure".
I went over to the courts this morning for a short time and then finished my FP when I came back so it is time to put some things away and then to the courts for 9:00.
