Tennis anyone?

So shortcake (my wife) and I took up tennis about a month ago. I've always had an interest in tennis so I asked shortcake and my sister to look for some tennis rackets at some yard sales. They found 4 tennis rackets for $1 each. These rackets were solid wood and made back in the 70's. They still worked so we started playing and playing and playing some more. We're now completely addicted to tennis! So much so that we bought new rackets (Wal-mart for the win), wristbands, etc. I even bought new tennis shoes (not sneakers).

We actually had some comments on our 70's rackets from other players. They were amazed people still played with them. It was like we were still using a rotary telephone.

We are getting better and it's a great form of exercise. Once I lose some more weight, I'll probably join a league. In the meantime, we're looking to take lessons.
