Tuesday, April 30th, was the first time out playing with our Meadow Pointe Picklers in a couple of months. The group is really growing and everyone is improving their play. There were some new players there that we had seen pictures of, but had not met. At home we have two locations that we play at MPI and MP II. They are about two miles apart. Both locations have two tennis courts with pickleball lines painted on them. We alternate between the two each week. This week we are playing at MP II. We are not an over 55 Adult Community, so many of our regular players work during the day. We play in the evening. Both locations have lights, so we can and do play until well after dark, sometimes to almost 10:00 PM.

Here's some pictures from this week:
Don Bass (red shirt) and Steve Long. Don and his wife Linda, live just across the street from us. Neighbors and very very good friends. Steve is amazing. Had knee surgery and was back out on the courts playing about 3 days later.

Brad Finch. He's our next door neighbor. His teenage son Tyler often play with the group. Playing with him is Ruthann. The only time she doesn't play is when she's out RV'ing. She and her husband Tony often RV at Peace River down in Wauchulla.

Chris Atkinson.....This was the first time that we met Chris. With the exception of the teenagers, he's the young'un. Loves the game, and is a great player. That's Judy playing with him. She and Bill come over from near Spring Hill to play with us.
Here's Bill (the other half of Judy) playing with Rich.


Here's Rich partnering with Renee. Renee is the one who keeps this group going strong while we're away. Thanks Renee.



On Friday we had to say goodbye to Judy and Bill. They snowbird down here in the winter. They'll be heading back to New York for the summer. They're hooked on the game, so they go searching for places to play when they get there. They just started playing with the group this winter, so we only got to play with them a half dozen times. Have a great summer you two... See you next year.
