Good Morning,
Very easy to say after the last 36 hours of our lives. You see on Wednesday, Natalie went to Atlanta for practice....somehow after shutting the car off....getting bags out of the trunk....walking about 100 feet to the locker room....going to the restroom and sitting down in the locker room (all of which prolly took 5 minutes)...she lost the only key to the car she was driving. We have my mom's car now, and use it to keep the miles off of our cars as much as possible. It's a 2004 Marquis, which is great for long trips. Sorry, I digressed. So, that evening Edward and I went to rescue Nat and the car, which didn't work due to the recommendations of the tow truck driver. So, yesterday morning we met a locksmith at the location and thankful had keys made.....and....away to Florida we went.
Arriving in Ocala late, we made quick of a Natalie's road favorite....Cracker Barrel, and away to bed we went. Today, we will meet my future daughter in law, Marilyn in Tampa then onto Palm Harbor. Natalie will "sign in" tomorrow and play on Sunday. We will be joined by Jason, her coach. She is looking forward to him being here and on the road with us for the first time. Here is the link to the USTA site which the draws will be updated on, beginning with the qualifier draw Saturday night:

Hopefully, the sun will appear soon....I mean....after all this is the "sunshine state"! Soon I will be following the little yellow bouncing ball and reporting back to you......until then....Love and Blessings! Sherry
