Rick and I have a tradition of playing tennis on Thanksgiving morning. Well at least trying to have this tradition. It worked in 2005 and 2006. In 2007 Rick was laid up with double knee surgery. In 2008 it rained that morning. It wasn't raining when we wanted to play but you can't get the tennis nuts (aka balls) wet or it permanently ruins them. This year we had to wait until Saturday to play. The first photo is the view from where we play tennis. One can see the entire valley and in this photo all the lovely clouds. (I love that I know how to do panorama photos now!)
We had and AWESOME time though. I had not been physically well enough to play since August.
Let
me tell you, watching Autumn come and go with no tennis was SO hard on both of us. Last Saturday was nice and cold but we braved it and it was worth it. (Notice that Rick's nose is almost as red as his hat it was so cold.) We were then able to go again during the week, in December.
I asked Rick if he had played outside in December ever before and the answer was no...he always played in a bubble. Again it was cold but it felt so good getting out there, hitting the ball and just having a good time laughing with Rick.
