Father's "week"


 The game is way to fast for photography but we have been playing a bunch of pickleball.  All variations of teams, Merrick & Ella, Amy and I vs. Grace....even a match were Grace was teamed up with a "rando", Steve, literally off the street...'he got an extra paddle, can I play?"  It is a very social game we are finding out.  And we did learn a few new rules.  Merrick and I finally made it to the sporting clay course for a round of shooting....it was, as always, as humbling as it was fun and I am sure we will get out again this summer.  Nice, challenging course with a lot of wildlife including deer and a scarlet tanager.  Merrick, Amy and I headed to TR to see the new place and touch base with everyone on Father's day.  Ella made it back from a camping trip for some Father's day burgers and the girls even set the Kubb court for a quick round (Amy and I beat the three kids) before the sunlight was gone for the day.  Merrick headed in after the game and was in bed soon after in order to get to work by 6 am and the girls, both working later, hung around the campfire chatting (Grace was amped and might actually have a sore jaw from talking this morning) before I too had to wander off to bed before my work alarm went off.
