Some time ago I wrote my store about making night stands for the boys while we were still in Devils Lake. I did find a picture of one well actually I took a picture of John's when I was in South Bend after Christmas. Here is what it looks like at the age of 44 years old! The initials are still on and all the knobs are there. It actually looks good. One would be hard pressed to find, today, a stand that is made of 3/4" oak inside and out! I admit that it is NOT fancy but it looks like it has stood the test of time and is still in use. If think it is in the boy's bedroom but not sure.
I am home from the tennis courts this morning as I played at 7:30. Tennis is a funny sport. Some days one plays like your game is great. Your serves go in and the ball always seems to land IN. Other days the serve is mostly OUT and the ball lands outside of the court much of the time. Today was one of those days where the ball seemed to have eyes for the IN court! Rich and I played a couple of guys where the match should have been pretty even. We won 6-2 and 6-1.
Then after playing I walked over to the club house as I had looked at our bills from the last few months and found that we had been charged $52.00 for something in June when we left here May 19th. I do not often look at our club bill because we are not here during the summer months so there certainly should be NO charges. I think I need to look at it every month. Of course they gave us credit.
It looks like we will hit 80 this afternoon so we may put the heat back on for the pool. AND it looks like all the way until the 18th our temps should be well into the 80s which makes heating the pool not so expensive.
I need to get out and pick some oranges as there are several on the tree that are ripe. They are sweet and good. I think this year is the most we have had on the tree for a few years.
I am going over to the courts in a few minutes as Phil, the pro, said he is giving a lesson at 10:30 to a guy who may be a fit for the team. I am always looking for good players. I am also on the 70+ 3.0 team. (My team is 60+ even though about half are 70+) We play our first match next Tuesday. I have been paired with a guy who I must have played a couple dozen team matches over the years and I question if we have won any. We just do not play well together. I sent a message to the captain and said I would be fine playing but he should know that we are not a good team. Will see what happens down the road.
My team plays on Wednesday and I will have my best players on the court so we will see what happens. We are playing a team that was not in the league last year so I have no idea how good they are. It should be fun.
Enough for now. Time for a short bike ride.
