Not sure why my eyes are open at 4:30 a.m. but I guess it's blogging time. Natalie has been working hard both on and off the court. Helping with the Poker for Pluskota event, teaching lessons, helping with Nana and ooooo yea.....practice. Traveling up to Atlanta daily for workouts and on court training fills most of her day. And she wouldn't have it any other way!
As for me....Nana is not doing well. A trip to the ER was in order yesterday. After nearly nine hours, we trek home. Hopefully the antibiotics will do their trick. Guess my being awake right now could have something to do with all that.
Heading south is what Nat will do on Sunday. She will play in the main draw of the Gainesville, Florida 10K. A tourney that some of you may remember from last year. The one with a novice chair ump, that each player was correcting in favor for their opponent. Hopefully, she won't be there or at least in a chair on Nat's court. For dubs in Gville, our gal will team up with Sally Peers from Australia.
Following that tourney, she will travel to Orlando. As of this moment in the qualifier, out of the main by three. Natalie should move into the main for singles. Can't remember who she is playing dubs with for that one....may be Sally. I'll let you know in a future blog.
Find myself having to give a shout out to a friend.....Rich. Yesterday morning I posted on my FaceBook page that I needed a baby monitor for Nana's room. Asking if anyone had one we could have, borrow or buy. In order to, hear Nana during the night. Within minutes Rich responded that one would be shipped immediately and asking if that was ok with me. Knowing his wife suffered a stroke last year, I assumed they had one laying around. Of course I was trilled. It was only after arriving home at 9:30 pm. that I found out what really occurred. You see Rich read my post, immediately went out to Walmart and bought a monitor. Then proceeded to the post office and shipped it and extra batteries to my mom. Wow....all I can say is Wow! Our lives are Blessed with sooooo many wonderful people and Rich is one of them. Thank you Rich!
We hadn't planned for me to go to Florida until the end of the Orlando trip. Which in light of Nana's condition is probably a good thing, for I may not get to go at all. Natalie is staying with a friend on Florida's campus, which she is looking forward to doing. I'm still working on getting her housing in Orlando and just about have that worked out.
Anyone with housing connections in Paris or Strasbourg, France?? If so, please email us at pluskotatennis@yahoo.com. or If you have my phone number text me. Thanks!
OOOooooo I hear lil Edward, getting ready for work. Guess I'll check on him and the load of laundry I put in the machine. Love and Blessings.....Sherry!
P.S. Prayers for Nana would be appreciated! Thanks! xoxoxox
