An update from the sunny...."Sunshine State"

An update from the sunny...."Sunshine State"!  Soooo very happy to say that it has been sunny here, altho it was very windy and cold today.  We were very thankful Natalie didn't have to play today.  She practiced twice and rested.

 Meanwhile, I had lunch with a friend.  He lives here in Florida, and is unique in the fact that he is currently on the waiting list for a double lung transplant.  Tim is a single dad of a 6 year old son.  He is truly inspirational, whether he realizes it or not.  <<I'm atop my soapbox>>  PLEASE....BE A ORGAN DONOR!  Tim and others like him are waiting for a miracle, the miracle of a donor's unselfish act to help others.  Be a Hero.....Be a Donor!

<<<<stepping down>>>

After a quiet evening in the hotel, Natalie is currently tucked in for the night.  That 8 o'clock wake up will come before we know it.  So, here is the scoop for tomorrow.  Natalie will play singles first on at 10 o'clock.  Her opponent is a qualifier, who will be playing her fifth of this tourney.  Which of course works in Nat's favor, since its only her second match....and she had today off.  Natalie actually faced this opponent on the double's court yesterday.  Ms. Benetez (ARG) (713) will play Natalie tomorrow.

Then Nat and Em will play dubs forth on....or...3ish.  Their opponents will be Abaza/Robinson, both from the USA.  Natalie has faced both of these ladies on the dubs court before, but never as a team.  They were both matched up with different partners.  Should be very good dubs, with for nice players.

There is the scoop from today and for tomorrow.  Sooooo until then and till that lil yellow ball starts bouncing will you hear from me.....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
