The weather cooperated for our penultimate day on the tennis courts. I went well dressed but was soon peeling off layers as the dull conditions morphed into glimpses of sun and people started to trickle in. I managed to pull off some decent rallies and played with people I don't normally see at the week day drop ins. 

   Then it was a pot luck lunch (I brought a cole slaw) and there was a good assortment of tasty dishes followed by a lucky draw. There's another pot luck tomorrow for the last day before the summer club is turned over to the city to run the winter program under a bubble. I don't join (too expensive) and will just have to pack away my racquet and  bide my time until next May. Tomorrow will be a smaller crowd, just the retirees and seniors, but it will be a chance to say our goodbyes until Spring.

    Sunday was the turkey feast with the family - SIL cooks the bird on the BBQ and very fine it was with all the trimmings. We ate around noon and I didn't eat again until a small sandwich just before bed! Judy made  sour dough bread to go with her butternut squash soup, both excellent,  and the turkey was accompanied by quinoa and squash salad, green beans, stuffing, gravy and (for the lone vegetarian, the other grandma) stuffed acorn squash. I did indulge in a small glass of wine before the meal, and stuck to (non-alcoholic) cider with the turkey as I was driving. Later, when we had had a chance to digest all that good food, there was pumpkin pie with whipped cream and coffee to finish. 

    Phew! It makes me tired just writing about all that food. Needless to say I needed a nap when I got home. It will take me a week to work off all those extra calories!
