Progress at Miller Park (1/16.2019)

Our recent return from our holiday visit to Texas saw us once again at Miller Park in Winston-Salem, NC. Check out the progress on the construction project that should have us ready to have a real bathroom and some equipment storage area by springtime.

What better way to close out the year than with family and friends in Austin, Texas.

Wonderful day of play yesterday. Sun. Cold wind. Clouds. Snow. Sun again. Cold wind to end the day. Great!

Rainy days and Sundays

We had six for Sunday play at Miller Park despite the fact that a driving rain had been present for most of the morning. It was still raining when we arrived at the park at 1:00 PM, but it stopped about fifteen minutes later and we were able to start playing immediately. Thank goodness (and the contractors!) for great drainage on our now-not-so-new courts.
