Great time in Umag! Took a few pix of the players from around the world. Nori is a member of Team
Japan, they practiced with USA and will be coming to Orlando for next year's Super Senior.
Frank had a great match against Australia's #1 player. Joe and Frank are a good doubles team,
had a winning day to put the team in 5th place. One more day and we are heading home!

The walnut story reminds me that I need to bake cookies when we get home! The nutter picked out all
the walnuts in his pail, except for a few and gave those to the squirrels! Hope there are more this
fall! He and mom were both nutters!

Thanks again for the down on the farm shots Nan & Dan! The fall harvest looks wonderful! Look
for a harvest moon tonight!

Rain delay in Frank's singles match, he is leading 3-1 but the thunder and lightening keep
coming. Looks like any plans to visit Venice before we leave here on Monday will be cancelled.Nice
shot of Captain Joe and wife Lola of Sarasota, Florida.

I got a picture of something tonight back at the woods that I have waited a long for! It,s better
than the doe I saw at the creek. Better than the 6 pint next to my tree stand. It was a walnut. One
single nut from the first tree that mom and I dug up at Dan's and planted back by the pond.
That was some time ago!

Great Britain won 2 of 3 matches and moves on to the semifinals, Team USA had a great tournament!
They will play Australia for 5th place, if the storm holds off!

Hey we might see some country on Sat or Sun, depending on how the tournament goes. Taking a bus trip
with Joe & Lola. Joe came from Hungary when he was younger, knows about standing in bread
lines...we are missing American coffee!

Draw posted: USA plays Ireland at noon, 2 singles & 1 doubles... Walked 5 miles along the
Adriatic Sea to the ATP Stadium where a pro match is played, stadium named for a popular Croatian
player! 15 years ago we were driving through Rankin to mow mom's lawn when the news of 9/11
came on the car radio...where were you?

Good practice, first time playing on the red clay. Rudy and Jim were late because they took a wrong
turn out of Venice and ended up in Austria! Think we will stay put!

Rudy didn't show up until suppertime, had to look up Slovenia ancestors for his friend from
Florida who will play for Slovenia. 18 countries are represented, team meetings & practice
today. Swam in the salty Adriatic Sea...bought water shoes for the stony bottom!
