...but nothing so urgent as to keep me from meeting a friend for a tennis match. And what a match it was! We've hiked and walked together...but this was the first time we've played tennis. We were meant to play together...it was a good game, and we'll be meeting at Portage Park again soon.
Portage Park brings back many memories...it was where I first learned to play tennis some forty years ago...with a wooden racquet and white balls. I'm sure the courts have had several facelifts over the years...it's quite a lovely park with a wide expanse of lawn. And next time we play...we'll be sure the lawns have been mowed before our arrival so we don't need to shout above the roar of heavy duty lawn mowing equipment.
Enjoy your weekend...
Oh boy, tennis something I never have mastered. . well actually I have not even tried to master. . .I was quite pathetically uncoordinated in my teens years and I think I thought it was impossible to learn . . I regret now not persevering . .
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you took the time to spend time with your friend.
It was September 27th that we initially began to build our friendship again.
ReplyDeleteI think we talked more than keeping score. That's why I was so mixed up..
I'm up to anything. Let me know.

I don't play, but it is one of my favorite sports to watch. I'm glad you two have discovered a new time to share.
ReplyDeleteDoing things with friends is so fun..glad you took the time to play!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to play tennis. What fun!
ReplyDeleteGood for you and Marg! I can't play anymore because of torn meniscuses in my knees -- hurts too much.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Love the post Judy! Tennis...not my sport...but glad that you could get together with a friend for a 'rematch'. Terrific on a sunny Friday!
ReplyDeleteWell, all I can say is you look great playing tennis! Someone tried to teach me once or twice, but I'm hopelessly un-athletic and clumsy! So, I've never learned. Good for you...I know it's wonderful exercise and fun too, when you know what you are doing. Portage Park looks like a beautiful place to enjoy a game or two of tennis.
ReplyDeletefun!!
