MI OUTDOOR Pickleball! MI Spring Joy 2009!

One of the things I love about being the OPC Rochester Pickleball Ladder Manager is that I'm often among the first to hear when a new grandbaby graces the world with joy! We welcome the grandbabies into our arms, our hearts, and our schedules. I'm also privileged to hear of grandchildren's concerts, sporting events, and graduations. The love that is born with the baby grows, and grows, and grows with the child. So indulge me as I use my own sweet grandbaby to demonstrate the wonder and the challenge Spring weather presents to MI OUTDOOR Pickleball games. These two photos, taken in the same week, demonstrate MI Spring 2009 Sweatshirt and Swimsuit Weather sharing time and space. And demonstrate that I'm a Grannie 1st and being a Pickler is a distant 2nd :) !

MI OUTDOOR Pickleball is growing! Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!! Grab your sweatshirt, grab your sunscreen and grab a game at one of the MI OUTDOOR courts striped with pickleball lines or one of the MI OUTDOOR courts picklers have permission to tape.
