KAREN AND HARRY; MARY AND RALPH

Good Pickleball friends Karen and Harry and Mary and Ralph arrived at TT Chesapeake Bay on Tuesday afternoon for a couple of weeks’ stay.

We met Mary and Ralph in July 2004 –taught them how to play Pickleball, took them for a boat ride up the Piankatank River where we got caught in a deluge of rain, and introduced them to Euchre. They in turn talked us into playing water volleyball where I immediately jammed my arthritic thumb!! Ouch!! It was a lot of fun.

A few years later, Mary and Ralph met Karen and Harry on the Chesapeake Bay Pickleball court. They have been best of friends since that time. They usually meet here once a year, usually in July. Geez. Seems we've know Karen and Harry for a long time, too. We were all here last July 2008 when our friends Wayne and Nancy stopped by Chesapeake Bay on their RV trip East.

We could only say “Hello” and “Goodbye” because we were scheduled to leave the park on Wednesday morning for our “week out”. However, I was able to join the four of them for some of Mary’s delicious home made banana pudding! Harry threatened to buy up all of Wal-Mart’s old bananas so Mary could make lots and lots of pudding!! UUMMMMMMMMMM

Fortunately, we’ll be back next week before they leave. We’ll get to play around with them then!
