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!

Got here for supper at our Umag, Croatia hotel! Been a long trip, you should see my ankles, they
look like Grandma Winnie's. Glad I'm not the player! Tournament play begins
Monday...practice in the morning.
