Wesley Chapel and the Meadow Pointe Crew

Monday morning, Rich had a follow-up appointment with the doctor in Tampa, so after the morning appointment we made plans to spend the day with friends and meet up with the Meadow Point crew for some pickleball in the evening.

This is our home in Wesley Chapel, and our very good friends Don and Linda............and the two boys, Cheyanne and Dakota. We arrived at the house early afternnon. Unfortunately, Linda had to work 11 -7 today so we chatted with Don and played with the boys and then did an early dinner with Don at Beef O'Bradys. We dressed for picklball and then met the crew at the MP two courts. Linda doesn't play pickleball, but she stopped by to see us at the courts after she got out of work. It was so nice to see her.


The rest of the crew was out on the courts playing, so I snapped this pictures of the rest of us sitting and waiting our turn. Ken, Suzi, Steve, John, Pat and sitting in front is Chris and Liz. Pat and Suzi just returned to Florida, having spent the summer in Washington with their family. Tonight was their first night back to MP. John (Gardner) was our guest tonight. John playes pickleball with a group of players in Rochester, NY and worked with the planners to secure a venue for the National Senior Games Pickleball Competition that just concluded at the Main Stree Armory in Rochester . He's visiting in the Odessa area and came over to play with our group. We really enjoyed meeting him - and want him to know he's welcome back anytime!


Here is Richard, Don, Rich and John. Richard is the newest of our group, having only played a couple of times before tonight - but hooked on the game he's already considered one of the "regulars".

Our friends Mark and Renee Glassman. Rene was the very first person that Rich and I introduced to pickleball in Meadow Pointe, and she continues to be the primary contact and sets up the rotation for weekly play for the group. Mark has played pickleball with us too, but recently had the "knees" done.
It was a fun day - and great to see everyone out on the courts. Posted by Picasa
