My friend Karen Fox arranged a women’s ladder group at Chicken N Pickle<\/a> with local and out of town ladies last month. It was so much fun! She’s working on putting another group like this together next weekend since several people will be in town for the ICT Fall-out Pickleball Tournament<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I’m not very good at women’s doubles so I appreciate opportunities to play with other women. I especially like formats like these where I can play with different partners because then I can test out my on-court chemistry with different people. I had the opportunity to play in Lacy Waugh’s round robin last weekend and I was surprised by the chemistry I had with a couple of people. Brandi Richardson and I did really well together. Krista Crawford was equally a great partner for me. Most of the time we are playing against each other so it was refreshing to be on her side of the net for a change. Also, I did the best with Lacy obviously but as Jen Tiano points out, “Lacy is everyone’s best partner.” She is amazing!<\/p>\n

That same weekend we got to celebrate Cindy Witte’s 60th birthday. <\/p>\n

It was a surprise party planned by her amazing husband, Joe. He literally is the best husband, second only to Brian. They are such a lovely couple who we got to spend quite a bit of time with while we were in Naples, FL earlier this year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Pickleball friends are the best ever. Until next time, GNG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
