There is a tournament called Senior Olympics and it includes just about every kind of sport. Pickleball is one of them. John and Ken entered and Joyce and I decided to give it a try. Our skill level was for Wednesday. The guys were suppose to check in at 8, so we left at 5:30 am (meaning getting at 4:30). You never know what the traffic is going to be like. It wasn't too bad and we got there about 7:20. The tournament was being held in Sun City, which is west of Phoenix. I was so excited that Ken and John won a bronze medal. This was Kens first and he was so tickled. They won a bronze in the skill level 3.0
Joyce and I were suppose to start at noon and got started about 1:30. We played for the gold - silver match about 5 pm. You can imagine how much energy we had, but we got the silver and was proud of it.
We had some special friends that showed up at the tournament. Harry and Karen, Marie and Keith. We met them on the pickleball courts in TT Orlando, Florida. They had decided to explore the west after the new year and I am so glad they did. Sure was fun to see and be with them for the day.
I don't know what this picture is, and I would have to close this out and start over to see it. I meant to have Mark (of Mark and Chris) to give me a lesson on blogs as his looks so nice, but as usual didn't take time.
Maybe when we run into each other again....
