Thursday night we attended a wedding for a classmate of mine. Katie works with her mother at our church so it made for a fun evening for both of us. Friday Katie got home early and after a nap we made a short trip east into the desert for some tennis. It was more or less a trial year for us. We knew it would be fun but had no idea who played who or what an event like this would be like. We ate outside the grounds only to find lots of fun foods we could have enjoyed inside.
We went up to our seats (below) just to see the view. We were really high up. We wondered back down and checked out the festivities.
The grounds were gorgeous. The air was filled with the smell of near by orange trees that make their presence known with their fragrant white blossoms.
As we were walking toward our seats a lady ran up behind us and asked if we had tickets. We said yes and she asked if we wanted better tickets. (Her confidence in "better" tickets made me think these were some pretty nice seats.) We found ourselves a couple rows from the court and could hear the players talking. Here's a picture of our $20 seats and our "better" $$$ seats.
We watched the women's semifinals and the men's double finals.
After sleeping in Saturday morning we tackled Katie's squash garden.
We dug down far enough to lay chicken wire to keep the gophers out.
Couldn't resist the cheap deal on some mums, morning glory's and white flowers.
The finished product. Well, the beginning of the finished product.
Katie utilized the potting table I built last year. It made me proud that she used it even though I had to remind her we had it all the time.
Great start to spring! Now it's off to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and maybe a campfire. Monday and Tuesday will be work days for me and then the rest of the week vacation.
