Tennis Any One


July 12, 2013 Day 31

Morning temperature was 64°, night time cloud cover held the heat in.

Today was the big day for the McCall Tennis Club, the annual mixed doubles tournament, and it was very well attended, 16 teams.  They came from all over the United Stated, including California and Mesa Arizona. It was a double elimination format, which means that you play and play and play. Only the lucky ones play two matches.

I walked to the courts, which are at the high school about a half hour from the RV park. Saw a lot of familiar  faces from last year, Tony, Steve, Skip, Robert, The Williams Sisters(Franz' name for Rick and Becky Williams), Al, and others that were not as familiar, but recognizable.  The Williams Sisters came in second, loosing two matches to a couple of professionals, maybe next year they will outlaw professionals.  Looks like Al is going to have to get his battery recharged.




Becky

Rick















Skip

After the matches Sharon and I met up with Bev and Skip and Becky and Rick for a late lunch at the Shore Line Lodge, always an enjoyable experience and a great view.



With the late lunch we went straight to HH and skipped dinner.  Later in the evening we had some dessert.

Wasp count is up to 9, got 2 in the upper chamber.  Andi says that when we get up to 12, they will come and see us.
