Our little town of Brookville, Indiana has a population of 2500 people.  It is a quiet little town.  Kinda like Mayberry.  I’d love living in Mayberry.  I miss Andy 🙁  Here in our little town over 1 percent of the population plays pickleball.  So when something special happens in our little town and it has anything to do with pickleball, people get excited.

Well, excitement drove into town last night.  Lynn and Linda Laymon stopped in to play.  Lynn and Linda are full time RV’ers, but more importantly to us pickleball players, they are also the editors of the United States Pickleball Association’s monthly newsletter.  That’s pretty much the equivalent of rock stars here in our town.

Karen and I met these two at a pickleball tournament a few years back and became almost instant friends. It’s always good to see Lynn and Linda since they always have a boat load of pickleball stories to tell.

Just so happens they were passing through Indiana on their way to visit Lynn’s parents.  We received an email from them asking if there was any pickleball going on Monday nights.  I knew there wasn’t but I lied.  Actually only a partial lie because I now intended for this Monday night to be a pickleball night in Brookville.

“Sure, stop on in for supper Monday night”, I said. “There will be plenty of players there around 7.”  I hoped.

Nice thing about living in Mayberry.  You can almost walk out your door and yell down the street and people will answer.  In this case I put out the bat signal with a couple of quick phone calls and a few text messages.

Sure enough we had a nice crowd there by 7pm and everyone had a great time.  At least I hope they did.  🙂

Thanks for stopping in Lynn and Linda!!!!
