Tennis

On Thursday I played basketball with Ryan and Jessica for about 1 1/2 hours. Then after talking to Kwaku and Josh, two of my students from M.V.A. last year, I went and played tennis with Jason and another guy. Before the sports in the evening I got a lot done at home; paying bills, unpacking/ organizing my stuff, checking out sights to look at for our wedding this weekend, putting together a pump for school, and a little cleaning.

Here is Ryan tonight before we played basketball.
Jason gets ready for a good shot at the wall.
The follow-through.
Ready for the cold with 2 sweatshirts, gloves, and my snowboarding face mask I bought in Silverthorne, Colorado, at Gart Sports last March.
Volleying against the wall to warm-up. Right after we got there, another guy that goes to Southern came over and wanted to play. So we volleyed with him for awhile and then started playing singles, with the winner staying in. Then we decided it would be good to include everyone so we started playing one against two, like I have played before with Jason H. and Andrew. The person playing by themself always serves and the "set" is played to 10 points. When a player wins who is playing by themself, they earn 2 points. When the 2 players win who are playing together, they each earn 1 point. And the first person to reach 10 points is the winner. It was fun.

It is hard to even see who is hitting this ball during warm-ups. I had not played tennis for awhile because of my right foot and ankle. It has been good to get back and out play basketball and tennis the last 2 evenings. Too bad John is already back in South Korea.The wind-up for a shot. I was getting my serves in really well and even though the temperature was in the low 40s it was fun and I warmed up after we started playing, so much that I took off my 2nd sweatshirt. Tomorrow Carrie is coming for the weekend!! It has been way too long since I have seen her; about 2 weeks. Happy Birthday Cherri!! I hope you had a good day and have fun this weekend with everybody. I'll see you guys in a few weeks for Thanksgiving.
