As you may or may not know, Charlotte and I have the tradition of Tennis Tuesday during the spring, summer and fall months when we’re both in town and the weather is good. We were both on the tennis team in high school and let me tell you, we looked smashing in those little tennis dresses. We went for years without playing, but then we were inspired and decided to devote sunny Tuesday evenings to tennis ~ I’m sure our tennis coach is giggling in his grave.
We’re a sight to behold, but they say tennis is an ageless sport. Charlotte says that because we both have grey hair we have an excuse to suck. Hey, at least we’re out there trying to stay in shape and acquire the endorphins coveted by all athletes.
This week on Tuesday, November 3 the weather was perfect, sunny and sixty-eight degrees, for one last hurrah on the tennis court for Charlotte and me. It was a little windy but nothing two grey-haired pros like us couldn’t handle. I don’t know if we’ve ever played into November.
Alas, the wind will blow cold and the balls are flat. The season is over. Next for the tennis team long-timers is the end-of-season tennis banquet. We get together for a delicious dinner and libations to celebrate our success. There may even be a trophy presented.

Dive Night, and now the end-of-season tennis banquet! I m in awe of your ability to find a good reason for a night out! Great post, Sara, thanks!
Dive night has kind of waned, but hopefully we’ll get back to it again. Plus – any excuse to enjoy some really good food and libations is enough for me. Celebrate, even if it’s a Tuesday!
