Thanks to you Serge!

Yesterday, Nat goes down to the apartment courts... again thinking she may be able to hit with someone, hit serves, fitness or something. There were several peeps there.  Again, she was told that it is was private for residents only.  She again told them we are residents...blah...blah. The gentleman told her he would come tomorrow (today) at 2:30 p.m. and he would hit with her. After several minutes they asked again if she was here for the French....she told them the situation. Then left the courts. Today, she goes to the courts to practice. Here is the tale of her day:

Natalie arrived at the courts to see about 50 people sitting around. The gent in the picture below is Serge, the President of the apartment complex tennis league. Upon arrival, Serge told Nat who he was. Then he presented Nat with her very own V.I.P. set of keys and lock for the courts. On the lock, he put a her college picture, one he took off the internet.  He also, made copies of her picture for all the people in attendance.  So that they could get Natalie's autograph before she left.  Natalie and Serge practice awhile with the audience enjoying the show.  Those that understood English would translate to French for those who could not.  Natalie really enjoyed the afternoon with Serge and the others. Upon finishing Serge asked Nat where I was, for he wanted to meet me because he has been enjoying our blog......hahahahahahah what a great story and day for Natalie. The journey of tennis!

Many thanks to you Serge and your members too, for giving Natalie such wonderful memories and your kindness!  

Natalie and League President Serge!

Natalie's keys and lock!  Thank you!
