TENNIS AT ITS BEST

Do you ever get stuck on something and you can't give it up?

That's what happened to me.

It's watching top notch professional tennis from all over the world. It reaches us

every year at this time. Played by men, women. Singles, Doubles.

Smashing the little ball over the net. They can only hope it won't

come back to them. With me it mostly does.

There's a thing about the game too: you don't have to have played

it to enjoy watching it. Nor do you need to know the rules.

.

Mind you, it's not that simple to play but worth the effort if you

decide to take it on.

Writer's comment: The world's best players get together each year

at this time. Catch it on television with the final match. It winds up today.

Another Sinner vs Alcaraz final. It's gonna be good.

THE WILD(ISh) BUNCH

This photo tells it all. Working at home as I do, one of our

two female dogs take turns pushing my office door open

to make sure, I'll swear, I'm okay.

It could be REBELLE or (MONEY) PENNY, big

loveable German Shepherds They wander onto

the deck together or by themselves to enjoy, I'm sure,

whatever the day brings them.

WRITER'S COMMENT: They're a sassy pair. They get on

well together despite being unrelated.. They both take well

to the wooded outdoors. Trees being their closest neighbors.
