Hello,
You all seem like such the sweetest people.And so many are so active and involved and have such exciting lives!That is so wonderful!
I am at home and in my mid 50's and feel this would be a wonderful place to chat with other ladies.There are so many topics here and I feel right at home already! I have 4 kids all in college or older. My daughter is married and has a baby and lives in a city far away. We try to visit often.My boys are tennis players in college and I play too and so does my husband. However, my league days are over. I am a totally recreational player and prefer singles.I have many diverse interests including American History, Georgian antiques, cats, wildlife and conservation, gardening, volunteer work, etc.

I look forward to seeing you around on the board. Well, that's my story, tell me yours if you care to.Sorry for the less than creative title.Have a very nice day!

Backhandgrip,

Welcome! I have two grown, married daughters and one 10 month old granddaughter...also in a far away city...I just told her mom that we were going to have to get webcams so that I can actually see her when we talk...

I'm single...live with a cat...grumpy cat...I write...speak...host an internet radio talk show...and I'm a life coach...it's lots of fun most days...today is one of those fun days!

Hope you'll have a blast hanging out with us!

Jane

Hi backhandgrip....just seeing your user name brought back wonderful memories for me. I played tennis for many years and loved it! However, ten years ago, my knees retired and that was that. My son was a varsity player in high school, but crewed in college. He still loves to play, though.

Welcome and it is a pleasure to meet you.

Hey Backhandgrip!...Here's running at ya, jumping over the net, and giving you a five!
I loved playing tennis too, but switched to golf because of my knee.
It's fine though, spending its retiring days in Knee-Ville with Sistergoldenhair's knees and many others.

Hope you have time between games to stop by and joint the fun!

Hannelore

Hi Backhandgrip. Your name scared me til I read it was a tennis thang. I tried to learn when I was in my 20s. I was booed off the green thingy. Welcome. You'll love it here.
