All of us Georgia Peaches......
All of us Georgia Peaches made it safe and sound to Yakima, Washington. Traveling is always an adventure. At the Atlanta airport the TSA xray guru informed me that she had to search my carry on. My reply "it's the peaches isn't it". "Step this way ma'am". Which of course I do, and she inspects. Opens the box in my carryon to reveal sweet and juicy Georgia peaches. She giggles, picks one up smells it, "hhhmmmm smells good". My reply, "I knew you checking my peaches". She replaced the peach and I was on my way. Not sure why she had to check the peaches, maybe thought they were gernades??? But I was on my way.
After a bumpy flight, and car rental I found myself settled at my hotel. Opening my "checked in" suitcase, I discovered it had been searched as well. I brought a case of peach salsa with me, which was packaged very careful. It had been opened for inspection and retaped closed with "inspection" tape. I'm very curious as to why these two items brought so much attention. But, I am certainly glad that folks are doing their jobs to keep us safe butttttttt really it was only peaches and salsa!
And yes.....I brought a case of salsa. Over the last few months, we have shared our salsa with many. And they have asked for some. Of course they can't come to our stands to get it, so I brought it. Thank goodness it make it here safe and sound, unlike the rippened peaches.
After all the rain we have had in Georgia, was nice to see the sun in Seattle. Yes, sun in Seattle, the weather patterns are crazy. We had a beautiful drive from Seattle to Yakima, catching up on all the stories and happenings. Stopped for cherries along the roadside, Natalie practiced, dinner then our hotel beds.
Today, Natalie will begin the first round of the qualifying draw. She will play Boserup, for their first meeting on the court. She will play 5th on after 10....which is code for 5ish. And of course that would be 8ish Georgia time.
The sign up for doubles will continue until noon tomorrow as usual. And then the draw will be released in the afternoon. After which we will know if Natalie and Jackie will begin dubs play on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It's 5:40 a.m. currently and I've been up since 4....time change adjustments needed. But I'm going to log off so the pecking on the keyboard doesn't wake up the room mates. For they both have matches today and need the rest. So......I will report the happenings of the lil yellow ball once it has gone silent for the day....until then Love and Blessings......Sherry!
