Riverdance and Tennis

The week before last was a fun one.  We were able to spend a lot of time at a local professional tennis tournament here in Memphis.  We were able to see James Blake and Andy Roddick play.  They didn't play each other, but did play right after each other.  We were able to watch several matches leading up to the finals and I even got to watch the final men's and women's matches.  I think I'm all caught up on my tennis watching.  Hubbie loved watching all the matches.  I loved going as well, but while he was paying attention to what kind of a backhand the players were using I would be watching the ball boys/girls.  They are so fun to watch.  Some of them are nervous and aren't really sure what to do.  The towel the players used was an issue for many of them.  Where to put it after the player was finished using it, catching balls while handing the towel to players was a fun interchange.  They were entertaining for me.  

The other really exciting thing we did was went to see the Riverdance at a theatre downtown.  If you have not seen this, you must!!  So entertaining and well done.  I just love all the Irish dancing and the musicians were amazing!!!  I really enjoyed it.  Hubbie wasn't too excited about going, but after the performance was glad he went.  He even enjoyed it!!   

This week we had a friend from New York come and visit.  That's a quick update.
