More Summer Fun

We are now about half-way through our mixed-doubles tennis league, and Tammy and I are playing reasonable well. We won the only match we got to play together, and Tammy and our friend Emmett won two weeks ago. Tennis-wise, though we are mainly getting geared up for our third annual Wooden Racquet Tournament at the Village Club. It has been a huge hit at the club, and we're trying to get some more players and non-players signed up to enjoy the socializing. I designed the poster for the Tournament today, and will post it tomorrow at the tennis courts. If you'd like a PDF of this year's version, let me know and I'll email it to you. 

Last weekend at an antiques store up in Lyons, CO we found a Wilson Tony Trabert model in great shape, so I may try that one along with my Jack Kramer from high school tennis. At that same store, Tammy spotted a beautiful hand-tooled briefcase that someone had made sometime in the last twenty years, and we picked it up for a song. That alone should get me an invite to the exclusive Denver Club, atop the building where I work; or not.

Next weekend is our trip to Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel. I am certainly looking forward to spending at least a little time in the Valley, as I haven't been there since driving through back in the early 1980s to Bluegrass festivals in Mather Camp. Emma's staying home to pet-sit.

We had to skip Mother's Day brunch at the Village Club as we have a tennis match to play (they used to have byes for that, but not this year) so we'll have an early dinner at our house with some friends. Should be a nice day Sunday; today it was sprinkling in the morning, and is now very breezy. Tammy got the fountains going a couple of days ago after the Winter layoff, and it is great to hear that sound again. Still too cool for cocktails on the patio, though. Maybe next week we can do that.

Spring in Denver

Activities are cranking up for the Summer: over the weekend of May 16-19 Tammy and I will get to visit Tammy's friend from Scripps, Stephanie, in Fresno, then drive into Yosemite for a gathering at the beautiful Ahwahnee Hotel. In July, Jan is coming out to go with us on the Cheyenne Frontier Days Train, and in August Tammy, Emma and I will go out to the Ventura County Fair once again. Doug's parents are due out in the middle of August for the scupture show up in Loveland, and a visit with mom's cousin, Ginny. We'll fill in details soon!
