Wimbledon Wow!

I really am not much of a tennis fan, but as I watched the Wimbledon finals on TV this morning, I had to take a moment to admire the athletic abilties of the two women competing against each other. Sisters Venus and Serena beat all other competitors to be matched against each other in the finals of this prestigious tournament. The odds of this are amazing and these women do this almost constantly year after year. What amazing female athletes they are! I am proud to say they live very close to our fair city of West Palm Beach.
It was Serena's turn to win this year (the younger of the two by 15 months) and as she held the trophy high, it was apparent how proud she was of her accomplishment.
Amazing talent should certainly be celebrated. What a great show!

I didn't watch, but heard it was great! Have been missing you. I haven't been the greatest blogger lately either. Must be the weather. I'm going on vacation. I'll call you when I get back and we can ride together, or eat together, or whatever together. Would be fun!!
