Huge Results at Spenco Open in Austin
It was truly a treat to watch both Claire and Kate playing in the finals of the Spenco Open this past weekend in Austin.
Kate was playing her first tournament in over a month. After shaking off a rusty start and dropping her first match, she advanced in the consolation bracket to the finals. Although she did not prevail in the finals, these competitive matches definitely help get her back as she prepares for the big Summer Grand Slam (a.k.a. Sectionals) tournament next weekend in College Station.
Claire had perhaps her best tournament to date. She and her partner, Brooke, won the doubles title. In singles, Claire won each round convincingly and lost only six games in four matches. Here's a picture of Claire with more hardware for her collection:
Congratulations and good luck in your preparations for Sectionals!

Lake House Fun Over Memorial Day Weekend
We had a great time over Memorial Day weekend at Tommy & Julie's Lake LBJ lake house. Unfortunately Kate was recuperating from having her wisdom teeth removed so you won't see her in any of these pictures.

Tuscany or Texas?
The sunflowers have made their grand entrance to our front yard. It takes us back to the fields of sunflowers Deb and I saw when we were in Tuscany a few years ago. Perhaps it's time to get the Sangiovese grapes planted to get the Chianti wine production going...
