Pickleball

Every Wednesday morning at 4:15 AM our alarms go off.  We usually hit the snooze once then struggle out of bed.  Fifteen minutes later, coffee in hand, we head out the door to the YMCA. We get checked in, grab a pickleball set and head to the courts to meet our Pickleball Peeps. What started…
