Since arriving in Austin, Texas I know my daughter has been having a ball! I'm glad for her and hope that she does well by the end of this weekend. You can find more information on Little Mo here.

For my birthday I bought myself a real digital camera. I have to say real because the other one did not have clear pictures and was more toy-like. This one (Kodak Easy Share C743) is awesome and I can actually see what I've taken a picture of. It doesn't take much to please me, ya know...

'nough talk, more pictures. Okay, here are some Red Roof hotel pictures. We have to have our rest...

We must also have some play time...

And some ball time

Hit that ball, girl!

Doubles are fun, too!

This is Shachaamah and her teammate, Anastasha

Of course next I'll be taking pictures of all the yarn projects I haven't been able to post. Its been a looooong time and I can't wait to share.

It's My Birthday!

I turned 31 yesterday!

I spent the day on the plane and getting settled in here in Austin, Texas (my daughter's tennis tournament for Little Mo). I said that one of these days I'll be on a cruise somewhere on my birthday, just not this year.

Beth, a fellow knitter and friend did remember a few days before and sent me a gift certificate to Knit Picks. Yummy. I love having knitting buddies like that.

Happy birthday to all the other October babies!!!!!

I Am Late with This News...

But not as late as the All England Club.

The BBC reported late last week:

The Wimbledon Championships will offer women and men equal prize money for the first time at this year's tournament.
The announcement by the All England Club brings the tournament into line with other Grand Slams following criticism from officials and players.

Wimbledon joins the United States and Australia in paying equal money across the board, from the champions down to the first-round losers in all events.

To see more, go here.

But one more quote. "Tim Phillips, chairman of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, announced that the championship committee had decided 'that the time is right to bring this subject to a logical conclusion and eliminate the difference.'"

I hope they're quite sure the time is right... wouldn't want to be hasty, eh?

I still have a pin from about 20 years ago that says "79c"--representing the amount women earned on the dollar compared to men. Unfortunately, it's probably not too far out of date. Except now at Wimbledon and the other grand slams. Oh. Well, except for Roland Garros. We'll take good news where we can get it anyhow.
