Never let it be said that the ladies of HEB sit quietly through the winter months without playing tennis. Yesterday, with the temperature barely 50 degrees Fahrenheit, we donned our warm up suits and took to the outside courts. It was a little blustery, but the ladies were upbeat and positive. As one member said, "I'm just glad to be outside..." followed by Shari who commented, "We're hardy Hannah's..."

The Super Senior USTA 3.0 team is training hard for their upcoming tournament in Las Vegas. They are on top form keeping their level high by playing in an indoor league.They are in the midst of planning their trip, are excited...and hope to "see some of the sights" while they're in town.

Even after the first snow of the winter, the gals at HEB continue to play tennis - albeit wearing warmer clothes. It is not unusual to have temperatures in the 50's in Colorado, and, at such times, the ladies can be seen sweeping the snow from the courts to allow the sun to dry them off.

Snowbirds

Jan and Liz invited Sosanna to a farewell dinner just before she left for India to visit family over the Christmas holidays. Many of our tennis members at HEB fly away to a warmer climate to escape the winter months here in Colorado, but Sosanna had a particularly long journey.We wish her a wonderful visit with her mother and extended family members.

Our Christmas Tree

Lots of fun was had by Nancy, Liz and Jan erecting our Christmas tree this year. Gone are the old tennis balls that were used (and decorated) by our tennis players. Now we proudly sport (no pun intended) new decorations, all with the tennis theme. We won't win any prizes...but we did enjoy ourselves.

Carol and Gigi

We can see how much fun Carol and Gigi were having at the HEB 3.0 party this week.

Celebrating Victory at Districts

What a fun evening! The two 3.5 HEB teams hosted a celebratory supper for Captain Carrie and her 3.0 Super Senior team who represented our club at Districts...and won! They are now off to Las Vegas in March to take us to the next level. We are very proud of our team, and raised a glass of cheer to them all on Monday night. 

Thursday Tennis at HEB

Yesterday was a fabulous day for tennis. The temperature was perfect, almost little wind, and good company. The men and women filled three courts - let's hope this weather holds out for weeks to come.
