Today, Rich and I headed for Highland Lakes to play pickleball. Our (e-mail ) friends from Greenville, Ken and Lynn Corbett are down visiting Lynn's mom at Highland Lakes. Her Mom's Birthday is on Thursday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Lynn's Mom!!!
Ken and Lynn learned how to play pickleball while visiting Highland Lakes one year and have since started a group of players at home in Greenville. Lynn, put me in touch with Manny and Marie at Highland Lakes, and I did a feature article on their great facility on our USAPA site a month or so ago.
Lynn and I have continued to keep in touch via e-mail, and when we missed them on their last visit to Florida - we made sure we would see them this time around.

Rich and I arrived just before 8:30 this morning, wearing our pickleball tattoos that we got at the Labor Day Jamboree on Saturday. We were a little bit early, and as soon as we walked in the door we recongnized the couple hitting balls on the court.
HERE IS KEN AND LYNN smiling for the camera and ready for our first game of picklebll.
It was great to see our friends Manny and Marie Cardoza again too. A few players that we hadn't met during our last visit we met today too. And we finally met Tom Gulakson - who is their pickleball trainer - His first serve to us was with a ball that measured about 1" in diamater! Funny!!! I took a lot more pictures - but so many of them came out blurry! Sorry!
We're meeting up with Ken and Lynn and with Manny and Marie Saturday for dinner. Can't wait. Regardless of the food...........it's sure sure to be a night of great company and great conversation.
