AND THE WINNER IS:

There was a pickleball tournament in a rv park near Avon Park about 18 miles from us. Womens doubles, mens doubles on Friday and then mixed doubles on Saturday. Sally had a partner all lined out and then the partner 's husband got sick and she couldn't play, so Sally asked me. We won silver and had a great time. The rv park is Tanglewood and what a beautiful park it is. Has 6 pickleball courts, and they converted the tennis courts so that made 8 courts.

Glen wanted to play and asked John to be his partner. They didn't win, but said that it was a great experience and would like to do it again.
So that is what we have been doing while at Peace River, playing pickleball am and pm. Only now this week it is too hot to play in the evening. This week has been in the 80's and last week, had some mornings in the low 30's. Go figure
Will head into TT Orlando on the 16th.

FUN ON AND AT PEACE RIVER

What a motley crew! Feel like saying "Ahoy Mates". Several of TT members went on a canoe trip. The weather was beautiful and we all had a lot of fun.

Ken, John, Stan, Pat and Sally. Faye was taking the picture, thanks Faye.


Now this is what river canoeing is all about. It just isn't a canoe trip unless someone tips over. ..... it was NOT my fault, I know what you are thinking. All I said was (and really not that loud) "John let's speed up a little and see if we can splash Stan and Sally. Well evidently Stan heard me and said "I"m going to get you first!" Really one would think as much as he has canoed (he said anyway) he would have realized you can't really do it sideways. As everyone knows there is an art to splashing with an oar. So anyway over they go, thank goodness it was a really nice and warm day.


Later on in the week, Stan put on a putt-putt golf tournament, John Sally and I were on one team. Sally was on our team because Stan blamed her for making them tip over. Of course I told everyone whose fault it really was.
We came in last, but I believe we had more fun than anyone.
