Cedardale Green vs. Andover

Tennis ink. Some days we give, some days we receive. Feeling generous today, Lisa Brennan gave a sweet tattoo to her opponent but took the court win with partner Betsey. And they weren't even close to being the sole victors. Earning SIX points, we landed another team win - a win that inches us ever-so-close to Winchester. Playing a tight match, Julie and Sam continue their winning debut while next door Kathy delivered her first ace of the run. Thanks to Kate Grondin for off-court cheering, and a special thanks to Kristine, Danielle, Susan, and Ann for cheering on Dorian and my post-game play. Who's better than you?? That, ladies, is what I call team spirit!

Non sequitur alert. I'll bet I speak for all of us in a shared desire and commitment to support local businesses, but I think it's time for a reality check.
You know you're in Andover when... instead of baskets of free deodorant and Biofreeze samples, there are kiosks with vendors selling Swarovski Crystal baubles (bracelets, brooches, necklaces, earrings) from 9:00 to 12:00.

You know you're in Andover when... you spot a perfect cammo tank for Jeannie at the clothing kiosk and the tag indicates that the size is "One Size fits All." Huh? Said perfect tank will also set you back $94.00. $94.00!!!
That is patently ridiculous.
Shawn, Liz, Kristine, Jeannie, Dorian, Danielle, Mary Beth, Lisa,Betsey, Sam, Julie, Susan, Anne, Leslie,and Lisa:
Wherever it takes you, enjoy the vacation week...

How I HATE to correct the English Professor and Editor In Chief of this blog! We got 6 points today. Because we WON more matches... Look at you for finishing the blog so early...
