Tennis & Swimming

Sunday on the way to church, my friend, Jenn texted to invite a group of friends to her house for a pool party in the afternoon. I was thankful that I had placed my swimsuit in the bag in hopes of the call. I called her to set up a time and plans were in motion.
The morning service at the Chapel was good. I really need to listen to it again since I felt a little off kilter from lack of sleep. (Got home late the night before) After service I met up with Brad, Ted, Kathy, Alex and Julie in the Atrium. It is always fun to fellowship with friends. Tim called to ask why I canceled our tennis game. He reminded me that I need to follow through on my commitments. I was glad for his confrontation. I do not want to be one who is known for breaking commitments. I met up with him at the tennis courts and we played for about 45 minutes. I was glad we played. However, I did feel so out of practice.
After Tim & I played I headed up to Lewiston for the pool party. It ended up that Karin, Bill & I were the only ones who came over. Jeff had plans with his family and Mark Weber was busy with a ministry in downtown Buffalo. Well, the three of us ordered a pizza and we had a veggie tray and snacks. Umm Good!
After we ate we headed into the pool. (well not immediately after eating but soon after). The water was at a nice 76 degrees. A little shocking to the body at first entering but after moving around it was comfortable. The first thing we did was make a whirlpool in an oval pool. We were trying to rouse up the dirt on the bottom of the pool so that Wanda the Whale would do her job of cleaning the pool. After the whirlpool we decided to play a competitive game of water volleyball. Jenn had pick up a volleyball net inexpensively and put it on two posts. Jenn & Bill set up the volleyball net over the pool and the games began. Two against two volleyball is a little tough but we had a lot of fun and a good amount of laughs and teasing. Bill happened to be the deciding factor on each team he played on. (Yes, each of the girls had him for a partner at least for one game) The whole afternoon was a lot of fun.
Until next time!
Blessings to you~~
