Shuffle Update

Well, Bill and I totally flopped in the last two mixed-doubles tournaments, and Stan and I totally flopped in the Golden Age Olympics mixed-doubles! But, Lucille and I took 1st today in the Magic Valley Electric doubles tournament. It was a non-sanctioned tourn., so we didn't receive points, but we received $70 each. Not bad!! God Bless & Happy Shuffling!

A GOOD TWO WEEKS

Well, I've had a good couple weeks since my last blog - not perfect, but very good. In last week's State doubles tournament Lucille and I took 1st in the consolation bracket, earning another 10 pts. In this week's State doubles tournament we took 1st Main for another 25 pts.! I am now in the lead with pts. for the season with 153!! Today was a little disappointing - Lucille and I had gone undefeated in the McAllen Golden Age Olympics Doubles and played in the finals today. The wind was gusting at 45 to 50 mph and we lost 2 games to take the Silver. Was really hoping for Gold, but our opponents just played better and handled the wind better than we did. I am so thrilled with my accomplishments this season - I've played really well. The next two State tournaments will be Mixed Doubles. Bill and I have taken 1st Main three times so far, so I'm hoping we'll do well in these next two. God Bless & Happy Shuffling, Sandi
