Yesterday was jam-packed with excitement. The tennis tournament fundraiser for Michael's school team was yesterday morning, and I was up and in the shower by 6:45 - which NEVER happens on a Saturday, normally.
I don't know why I didn't think to take some photos, but I was too busy manning the sign-in table and running the prize raffle.
It was COLD - I had on two shirts and a heavy sweater, and Michael got my stadium blanket out of the car, thank goodness! It didn't warm up until just before we left.
It was a nice group of folks who came out to play. I have found that tennis players, whatever their age, are almost always good folks, mannerly. I appreciate that.
Afterwards, we picked up sandwiches for lunch, then went to the home of a friend of mine who is downsizing from a house to an apartment. She had a pingpong table she was giving away, and Michael and his friend Clay had a blast playing with it:
well, this was when they were still trying to figure out how to get the net on it. Clay's dad, who is an engineer, came over and got it set up in 5 minutes. Yay Stan!
My friend also had a Yoda figure that her kids had outgrown.
Michael and I put some batteries in him just before bed and listened to him talk. SO funny! He says a bunch of different things, wriggles his ears, and has facial expressions. Right now he is "asleep" - eyes closed. I am not a huge Star Wars fan or anything, but this little Yoda guy is a fun toy.
Today promises to be busy too - Mike has a tennis match, and then we have to buy groceries. At least it's a pretty day!
