Phew- 9 hours of tennis and there was an American player on court for every one of those minutes. I took a short break at lunch- we have a bakery in town and the woman who runs it also does a special lunch- no menu- just the special. Hubby had heard it was liver and onions today (sorry cal) and we both like that so we went in . Wonderful- best I ever had- also American fries, green beans and a clice of her homemade bread- oh my! We brought part home for another meal.
So in tennis Serena and Venus Williams, Madison Keys, Sam Querry and John Isner won- that's not all the USA players who won but these are my favs plus Roger Fedderer won!!! There are 14 men and 17 ladies from the USA entered. Most notable loss is Sloane Stephens- what a bummer.
Hubby told me we have a bug eating one of our birch trees- Japanese beetles- I had seen them on the asparagus last summer and called the master gardener hotline and he said that they wouldn't hurt the plant so I didn't do anything. It would have been easy to take care of them then and now I don't know if they will kill my tree. I love that tree and our dog Waggles is buried under it. I'm so sentimental. I have a call in to our lawn care guy- see if he'll call me back. I think they are pretty busy cutting down all the ash trees
cal- your comment about letting my pants hang down was too funny.lol
