Pickleball

Don and I have been enjoying playing pickleball. It is a racket sport played on a badminton sized court with the net dropped lower and using a table-tennis like paddle with a wiffle ball. This sport created in the 60s seems to be gaining popularity out here. Our park has two courts. The regulars usually play in the evening under electric lights. They were very inviting and encouraged us to play with them. That way we learned the basics.

I bought an extra paddle (there was already one here at the mobile) and Don and I practiced yesterday. It was windy and it effected the light wiffle ball which is like a large ping-pong ball with holes in it. (Kind of like a large practice golf ball. ). We had lots of fun despite the wind.
