Thursday and Friday at the Championship Games

Thursday we were back at the courts for the men's and woman's doubles pool play. I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures of Rich and Bob playing, because at the same time I was playing my matches with Nancy Jordan. I think Nancy and I won one of our three games, while Rich and Bob did great winning all of their games - so they will for sure be seeded number one in their matches on Saturday. By the time we finished on Thursday - it was 1o:00 pm. We had not eaten since breakfast, so we stopped at Publix and picked up a six pack and two subs at subway. By the time we called it a day - it was after midnight.

The singles matches were finishing up the first thing on Friday morning. We arrived back at the courts around 11:15 . Mixed doubles pool play started at 12:00. Rich and Roxy won two of their five games, but of the games that we lost was 15-14 - so close. I partnered with David Jordan. We only had to play two games today - Won one and lost one. Great game 15-14! It did rain a little bit in the afternoon which delayed play, but only for about 30 or 35 minutes. The games finished and we were back to the hotel by 4:30

Tonight was player appreciation night. At 7:30 we all met poolside at the Hyatt Bonaventure, in Weston, Fl, which was the host hotel for the National Games. The finger food that we thought we were having turned out to be a great buffett, Turkey, gravy, squash, biscuites, salad, ziti, ravioli etc. and we each had two free drinks of our choice. The food was great, the hotel and pool was beautiful, the weather was perfect. It was a great night just getting to sit and talk with new found friends. We had a great time.!

Back on the courts tomorrow for the championship matches. Best two out of three. Will let you know how we make out!! Wish us luck!!!
