Starting with tennis this morning it seems to be a little cloudy and cooler in the morning but then the sun comes out and the rest of the day is sunny and lovely…..enjoyed the games as always…..again into town I seem to have lots of chores to do these days and also I wanted to set up the event for my students tomorrow evening I know they are going to enjoy the time.
In the afternoon I went over to Rita’s house I love going there to visit…… Rita is so lovely and never complains even though I know with her breathing issues sometimes she has hard times…we have great chats and then when Roger comes over always with home made goodies we get right into our card game…always a fun afternoon.
Tonight was a just a quiet night at home watched some TV, did some computer work and just took it easy for a change…

Mexico missing case: Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca held
Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda had been on the run from the authorities
Police in Mexico say they have arrested the fugitive mayor of the town of Iguala, where 43 students went missing in September.
Jose Luis Abarca was detained by federal police officers in the capital, Mexico City, a police spokesman said.
Mexican officials have accused Mr Abarca of ordering police to confront the students on the day of their disappearance on 26 September.
Eyewitnesses described seeing them being bundled into police cars.
Unknown whereabouts
Federal police spokesman Jose Ramon Salinas confirmed the arrest of Mr Abarca and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda on Twitter.
Police have been searching rivers and forests around the town but have so far failed to find the 43
Mass graves have been found near Iguala but initial tests suggested they did not contain the bodies of the students
Mexican officials had issued an arrest warrant for Mr Abarca and Ms Pineda after Iguala police officers said they had received an order from the mayor to intercept the students.
The officers said they had been told to stop the students from interrupting a speech given by Ms Pineda in Iguala on that day.

The students, from a nearby teacher training college, had travelled to Iguala to raise funds and protest.
They have not been seen since. A search has uncovered a series of mass graves in the area, but initial tests suggested they were not those of the students.
Since then, more bodies have been uncovered and officials have cast doubt on the accuracy of the initial tests.
More forensic tests are currently being carried out.
Mr Abarca and Ms Pineda were arrested in a flat they had rented in Mexico City, media reports said.
They did not resist the arrest.
They have been taken for questioning. Officials hope they will be able to shed light on the whereabouts of the students.
Public outrage
The events of 26 September have shocked Mexicans and have led to mass protests demanding that the authorities do more to find the missing students.
A group of relatives of the missing is marching towards Mexico City to protest at the slow pace of the investigation
They have been holding vigils and prayer meetings at cathedrals throughout Mexico
The 43 were part of a larger group which had gone to Iguala to protest against what they said were discriminatory hiring practices.
The students all attended a teacher training college in Ayotzinapa with a history of left-wing activism, and their presence in Iguala raised alarm bells with the local authorities.
When the students boarded busses to return to their college, they were stopped by police - allegedly on the orders of Mayor Abarca.
The officers opened fire and killed three students and three people in nearby vehicles.
They stopped one busload of students trying to flee and took them to a local police station.
The disappearance of the 43 students has triggered mass protests
According to police officers detained as part of the investigation, they then handed the students over to a local drugs gang.
The gang's leader, who has also been arrested, says he ordered the students be "made to disappear", after having been told they belonged to a rival gang.
However, he did not specify further what happened to them.
The gang leader also accused Ms Pineda of being "the main operator of criminal activities in Iguala".
The relatives of the missing students said on Monday that "no progress" had been made in the search for the 43 and expressed their anger over the slow pace of the investigation.
The governor of the state of Guerrero, where Iguala is located, resigned last month over the disappearances.
Yashi Kochi!!!!
