For those of you that might think we always were working or flying from A to B, we actually DID PLAY too!
Both of us LOVED to play tennis as it is an active sport!
Pieter on the court...
And me...
With Gloria one of our tennis teachers in the back...
But we have had to drop this as our schedule was always such that we could not continue with scheduling classes or whatsoever...
But at least we ENJOYED it!
Maybe next life...?!
I was never any good at tennis. The racquet was too small.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThat is a good one; great explanation for not being good at tennis...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, As they say, a healthy mind in a healthy body. My exercise these days is mostly from walking, but I prefer to do it late at night (social distancing) and I also have to avoid Taiwan's frequent rainy days.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteLet's hope that the balance between healthy mind and healthy body has been prolonged by being active.
It will be hard in such an overpopulated area to keep social distance. But walking is good, also to enhance a good night sleep.
Yes, we know from Indonesia how those frequent rainy days interfere with your plans...
Hugs,
Mariette
Such a good game Mariette, it's a shame when our busy lives take over from those shared hobbies ✨
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
DeleteWell, there are just not enough hours in a day, or days in a month for doing it ALL and very hard doing so when traveling globally.
Hugs,
Mariette
It's a great game.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes, for all those that remain more home bound it is an excellent game with action.
Hugs,
Mariette
Ahora se comprende, su buen estado físico...eso se debe al deporte y el llevar una vida sana.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Querida Antónia,
DeletePor mucho que nos encantó hacer esto, nuestra vida ha sido bastante activa todo el camino... simplemente no hay tiempo suficiente para hacerlo todo y especialmente combinado con viajes globales.
Abrazos,
Mariette
I love old videos like this. Such great memories! We have to remind ourselves to make time for the fun things in life, because it's so easy to get caught up in work!
ReplyDeleteDearest SP&P,
DeleteThank you, it is quite something to look back at a bygone era of our life. Grateful for having this...
We wanted to make time for it but with our international consulting this was impossible.
Hugs,
Mariette
I use to play ttennis in my 20's
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteNo, when I was in my 20s I've never played tennis! But good for you that you managed back then!
Hugs,
Mariette
I played competitive tennis for years and was a long distance runner ~~~ so thankful for all of that physical conditioning, it makes a difference in how we age I think .....
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteWow, at least you did some extensive endurance training and that carries us a long way!
Hugs,
Mariette
It's great you got to enjoy playing tennis out of your busy schedule. I played tennis when I was a teenager as a part of school activities but I was never good. Might enjoy more if I play now :-) It's wonderful you have this video! Fond memories in action!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteBoth of us enjoyed playing so much but later we could not keep it going.
This video is a sure treasure as it is the only one...
At least you did play as a teen and you might indeed enjoy it more now.
Hugs,
Mariette
How fun that you have this to watch. I played on a tennis league years ago and more recently golf, although we only played nine wholes and then all went to lunch. You certainly looked good in your cute tennis clothes.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteYou no doubt have been a very active person throughout your life! Still are.
Both of us never played golf, maybe next life?
Thanks for your kind words!
Hugs,
Mariette
Olá,
ReplyDeleteamei assistir o jogo. Gosto de assistir os jogos de tênis. Mas jogar eu não consigo. Toco a bola para qualquer lado menos para frente. hahaha
Bjos feliz Natal.
Querida Anajá,
DeleteObrigado por visitar e ver. Nós dois adoramos fazer isso, mas as muitas viagens pelo mundo nos impediram de continuar.
Desejando-lhe uma boa continuação do Advento e um Feliz Natal!
Abraços,
Mariette
Também partilho o gosto pelo ténis, desporto que requer muito esforço.
ReplyDeleteAbraço amigo.
Juvenal Nunes
Querido Juvenal,
DeleteÉ certamente um desporto ativo e bom para os humanos!
Abraços,
Mariette
I Am So Thankful That This Video Resurfaced - What A Gem - I Loved Playing Tennis And Was Completely Useless Out There - Played In A Mixed Doubles League For Years And Them Ladies Delightedly Giggled When I Stepped On The Court - I Was A Pretty Good Volley Striker But Couldn't Serve, Couldn't Remember Who's Serve It Was, And Overall Couldn't Really Play - But I Looked Good And Had A Ball - Again, Fantastic Old Home Movie There - Well Done
