I initially wasn&#8217;t going to be able to come because Kayla said it was 3p to 6p but then she said I should swing by anyway because they&#8217;ll probably be there until 9p. <\/p>\n<p>When I arrived I found Noi, Chris (Heck), Kayla, and Kimberly playing on one court and some others who I didn&#8217;t know very well on another court. I think I got maybe three games in before we stopped playing at 6p. The most memorable one was the last game with Chris against Bob and JB. I hit three ATPs in one game. I think that&#8217;s the most ATP winners I&#8217;ve ever hit in a single game. I found it fitting that on my last game on the very last day of play at Nahola I hit three ATPs because Nahola is where I actually first learned to hit these on purpose. <\/p>\n<p>Play stopped at 6p because people started arriving for the farewell party. I think that&#8217;s what Kayla meant by saying they&#8217;d be there until 9p that night. I didn&#8217;t have to be at Chicken N Pickle until 8p so I hung out for a bit and took some pictures. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/51912444781\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51912444781_831f614baa.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t even know I was on the slideshow on the TV until I was looking at this pic on my phone after I got home. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/51911570095\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51911570095_a8c3a43770.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was a lovely farewell party with some of the OG Nahola members.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/51911270144\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51911270144_d79fde3f1e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made a short video of some of the pictures and videos we took on Monday night and some of the old pics I already had in my phone from before. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Farewell Nahola\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_OyxGwS4Cak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I will really miss this place. Nahola brought so many amazing people into my life who I would have never met otherwise. I&#8217;ve really enjoyed my year and a half as member. My only regret is that I didn&#8217;t find Nahola eight years ago when they first opened. At least I now have pickleball and all of these wonderful friends I&#8217;ve made. And, though we no longer have the physical space of Nahola, we will be forever connected by the bond of friendship and our collective love for the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time, GNG.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stopped by Nahola after work on Monday for free open play.
