I'M BACK!

It has been awhile! Stan and I had a good summer in Hendersonville, NC. We were there from mid May to mid Sept. We bought a small park model in JayMar Park just east of H'ville on Hiway 64. We moved into it early July just before going to Lakeside, OH for two weeks. We are both on the Board of the H'ville NCSC and hope to be spending our summers there for the next few years or longer.
I had a good summer shufflewise - placed in 10 out of 15 tourn. at H'ville, and placed in the Main in all 4 tourn. at Lakeside. I was nominated to the National Board as 3rd V. Pres., so will be taking that office late January. I currently rank 7th among women in all-time National Points - which 'ain't too shabby'. As 3rd V.P. on the National Board I hope to procure the International Games here in TX in 2012 or 2013. It will be a huge task, and maybe impossible, but I'm going to try. We have more than one park here in the Valley who could handle an International, but getting them to agree is another thing.
We arrived back in TX Sept. 21 for our 13th winter! Doesn't seem possible we've been retired that long - we've truly been blessed! I had some repair work done this summer and early fall - carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists Aug. 13th and surgery on my right foot, due to arthritis, Sept. 30th. I got the pin and stitches out of my foot yesterday, and will be wearing a splint and surgical shoe for 4 weeks - that means for the first two tournaments - but it should be no problem as the first tourn. is still 2+ weeks away. I'm really looking forward to this season here in TX w/my partners, Lucille and Bill - should be a good one, but then, it's shuffleboard and you just never know! I really hope to do better in the Singles tournaments this winter. I'm striving for that 1000 pt. mark - probably won't make it this season, but certainly hope to get much closer. We'll see! God Bless & Happy Shuffling!!
