Escaping the rain delay due to Natalie's quick work in yesterday's match, helped to make a very nice football afternoon. She begin shortly after 9 a.m. and was off the court in bout 55 minutes. Playing a very sweet younger player was a great way to start this Rock Hill Rocks Open 25K tourney. Nat won 6-0, 6-1.
Returning "home", we enjoyed football and snacks which is always a fun Sunday. Left in the late afternoon to meet the Webers, who drove a very long way to see us. It is always a delight to visit and giggle with this wonderful couple. I can't believe neither Jenny nor I remembered to take a picture, we are slipping! After a snack at a local place, we were back to the tennis center for the kids clinic.
The Jill and the other Rock Hill Tennis Center staff do an excellent job with the kids clinic. There were about 100 kids in attendance. Who were all kept busy for bout an hour and half. Then given a pizza party, autograph session with the players, and an awesome goodie bag. The families in this area are sooooo very lucky to have Jill and her staff! I took many pictures, to be posted in next few days.
Returning "home", we found ourselves enjoying Lance's homemade chili. Accompanying the chili were tamales that they get dry iced delivered from Texas. My winning combo was.....layer of Frito chips, then a tamale, then chili topped with cheese. OMG.....fanastic! Cassandra and Lance are wonderful house parents and we appreciate them so very much!
Today has started out gloomy, let's hope it stays dry. Natalie will play second on after nine but not before eleven. Which is code for 11:30ish. She will play a junior player and fellow American Josie Kuhler. Should be a match filled with great tennis. I'll be updating you on how that lil ball bounced as soon as it's done....until then.....Love and Blessings......Sherry!
