That's me!

Amos and I have started playing tennis on Saturday mornings. We have a court in our complex, and in the morning it is the perfect time to play because it's not too hot - and we get some good sun and good exercise.

We are pretty nicely matched as far as skill level goes - which is nice for me. I'm used to getting beat by Amos at mostly everything! With tennis, he has more power, but I have more experience in placing my shots. Last week we played and drew at 5-5 before we stopped playing. Then this weekend we got to 3-2 and were in the midst of a high-intensity rally when I went flying to the pavement because I rolled my ankle and it gave out on me. I was determined to win that point, too!!

Amos came right over and new exactly what to tell me to do, thanks to all his similar experiences on the soccer pitch. So, I have been hobbling along for the past day and icing it and trying to keep it up. I hope it's all better for next weekend's match!
