MORE PICKLEBALL FRIENDS AT TT PALM SPRINGS, CA

October 31 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM PALM SPRINGS, CA!!

During our two weeks at TT Palm Springs, we played Pickleball every morning. We tried to get to the courts at 8 AM with the early birds, but never made it that early!! One day our dear friend from the past, Whitey showed up at the courts for a few days with his two sons Dan and Jim. We have known Whitey for years. What’s so fascinating about Whitey and his wife Betty is that they have been driving down and spending the winter in Mexico for the past 30 years!! We often wondered if they were still traveling down there; the answer is Yes!

Dan, Ken, Whitey, Faye, and Jim. It was a lot of fun playing Pickleball with Dan and Jim. Whitey taught them well!! HA HA They just did not stay around long enough.


On Sunday the 24th, another dear friend, Jessie showed up. She was on her way to Buckeye, AZ to play in a National Pickleball Tournament. She will probably win; she always does!!! I don’t think there is a Pickleball player in the US who has not heard of Jessie. She is the Matriarch of Pickleball!!! Good luck in the Tournament, Jessie!!!

Linda and Jessie in action!

Arriving on the scene just a few days ago and all too late for our liking – Rita whom we met in TT Chesapeake Bay; and Bob and Laurie and Ray whom we just met here this past week. We have had a lot of fun playing with them. In fact, Laurie told us her sister was currently at TT Chesapeake Bay. So we immediately called her and told her to be certain to go down beyond the lake at Chesapeake Bay and introduce themselves to Mike and Diane who have a leased site there.

Bob, Laurie, Faye, Ken, Rita, Ray.

When I viewed this picture I discovered it was taken with our motor home in the background!! We were parked right next to one of the Pickleball courts. The other court is just across the road, and the Laundromat!! No wonder we hate to leave here tomorrow (Monday 11/01) to go to Desert Pools about 20 miles away!!
