12/13/14 Volleyball, Flat TIre, Christmas Party @ Billy & Robin’s

12/13/14

all we need now are PLAYERS.
I’m usually first to the courts on Saturday mornings.
Can’t wait to play!!

Volleyball with friends at GPCC
(Greater Plymouth Community Center)

Me, Kathy, Andy, Matty, Matt, John

FUN was had by all.

HOURS of Volleyball 🙂

The Leopard Mobile got a flat tire.
I called AAA to fix it.
I waited over an hour for him to come.

The guy was pretty clueless how to fix it
& he kept asking ME questions about fixing it.
THEN he asked for the manual.
It was another hour to get back on the road.

but on the bright side, at least I OWN a car
that can get a flat tire…..& I have the money to fix it.
