Tennis Champions

My birthday present this year from Beth was tickets to see four tennis champions in action at the United Center.  So we went--months later.  It was a grand experience and we had very good seats.  Some of the event was choreographed; John McEnroe arguing with the umpire and giving the ball people hard times, but it was all very enjoyable.  I was surprised that I could even see the ball, but I could.  And there was replay on the Jumbotron.  The only disappointing part was that Bjorn Borg claimed illness and Todd Martin substituted for him.  Otherwise it was nice to see Johnny Mac, who received a huge welcome, Andre Agassi and Jim Courier.  Most of the points were short, but there were a few good rallies.  I took pictures even though I thought they wouldn't show much and here they are.

Miss M. had to  come along even though it was a school night.  Here she is reading her book!

Ten Pink Tulip Bulbs, a Lot of Leaves and a Link

Beautiful weather again for digging.  I cleared a spot by the front gate and planted all ten of the Pink Charmeur Tulip bulbs there.   Then I blew all the leaves from the driveway into the back yard and mowed them to bits.  I should have taken before and after pictures and the driveway is covered now as I write this.
I linked someone's blog post today and I have no idea how that works or what good it is.  I need to read up on this.
