Today was one of those perfect fall days... crisp air, clear sunny sky, and fabulous multi-colored leaves on the trees, still hanging on by a thread. I was lucky enough to get to be outside playing paddle tennis for a couple of hours today. It was great. I managed to get in 3 1/2 hours of exercise today. I am going to be a hurting gal tomorrow I fear! A good hurt though. lol
Unfortunately my perfect fall day was tarnished somewhat. My Grandmother isnt doing very well, took a fall... and my only cousin is in the hospital with some sort of an infectious disease! Very sad on both accounts. I am going to visit my Grandmother in 10 days for her 95th bd (I think its 95... sorta lose count after 80 lol) It will be wonderful to see her, spend time with my Dad and relax some in the sunshine! OMG I really really cant wait! I so need to get outta Dodge!
Hope you are having a good week!

What foam said :)
Pretty Fall leaves...
by 'paddle tennis' were you referring to table tennis?, that's a good game so is badminton if you don't have a tennis court.
Enjoy your visit with your Grandmother and your Dad, hope your cousin will be OK too. :) ♡
Hugs and I'm sorry for the illness in the family. I'll be in SC for the weekend with my mom at a wedding- I know our days are numbered for this sort of thing and I plan to enjoy every second of it. Mom is over the moon excited about seeing all of her family again ♥
I'm a tad jealous about florida...sigh, I miss it! I'm past due for a trip there. I hope you have a wonderful time- hugs! :)
Your grandmother probably also lost count after 80.
Hope she feels better soon.
sending get well wishes to your gran and cousin, and speedy recovery!
Thank you all for the good wishes~
Foam and SJ I did my fare share of flailing around out there... lmao am a bit sore today not as bad as I thought I would be though.
Dianna, Paddle tennis is played outdoors on a small tennis like court. Its somewhere between racquet ball and tennis.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_tennis ... its really great fun as you play in the cold weather months! Its the only cold weather sport I really enjoy.
Cora, enjoy your time and take loads of photos! Next trip perhaps we can head down to my Dads together! =]

Well I WAS having a good week. But then I found out about the leaves, missing paddle tennis invitation and grandma. And now you're leaving. I'm going to have to get drunk and watch repeated viewings of Larry King Live on CNN tonight, just to dull the pain.
a good sore for sure.
sorry about your grandmother and cousin. hope they both get well soon. enjoy your visit with your grandmother. have a great day.
Hope they both feel better soon and hope you have a perfect fall day...
Sorry to read about your family's bad fortune. I hope they recover well.
I love the term paddle tennis. I have never heard of this before. :-D
Thoughts for a full recovery. Twice.
everybody's in my prayers for good health!! i love the picture you have of the leaves up there! says fall, without saying a word!
Hi Helene,
Colourfully "painted"
both in words, and picture.
(( hug ))
3 1/2 hours? I think the only two things I do for that long in a single day are sleep and watch football :)
I hope your loved ones get to feeling better.
I plan on losing count after... actually why not start now? :)
hope grandmother and cousin are recovering. enjoy the fall as best you can with the worry.
