Resuming Tennis Sundays

Alhamdulilah, after going to countless garage sales, in which we stumbled upon tennis racquets, we are able to resume our Tennis Sundays. I had noticed a lack of tennis courts here in town, and asked around. One Sunday morning, while the kids were still sleeping, we checked out a court nearby, that hubby learned about through a brother. It had a playground nearby and that Sunday, we I guess, officially resumed our Tennis Sundays after the move. I have to say I still miss Whetstone Park though.
One of my Quran students told me of another park, Young Park, that also has tennis courts. For a couple of Sundays now, we have been going to that park, which is definitely bigger and better. While hubby and I played tennis, the kids played at the playground, rollerbladed, and played tennis on the other court. All the times we have had our Tennis Sundays, it has been quite late, because we waited for Baby Z to wake up. By 8 or 9 am, it’s already hot here, though we still played till well past 10 sometimes. 
Since Sunday school has been pushed back to 3 pm now, I have a little more time between tennis and Sunday School, alhamdulillah. Though it is still hectic the past few Sundays because the community had potlucks, so I ended up exhausted one particular Sunday because tennis was followed by being in the kitchen all the way till we had to go to Sunday School. There is definitely no dearths of potlucks in this community, alhamdulillah, but I can honestly do with less of them, just to save myself some energy.
Last Sunday, after tennis, I told hubby,
“Let’s go check out the river. Sy says it’s nice.”
So we drove around looking for the Rio Grande, but ended up on the wrong side of town. I called Sy and asked here where the river was, and before long, we were there. It was huge. Though I have to say I foolishly imagined it to be more clean and pristine. Like those in pictures or paintings. Wishful thinking. The park nearby was nice too, though the river is a little bit out of our way. I noticed a bike trail there too. The kids clumbed a tree for a few minutes, and then we went home.
It was a restful Sunday alhamdulillah. No rushing to get ready for Sunday School or frantic cooking and worrying about potlucks. I wish there are more Sundays like that.
