Mothers Day Miracles & Jesus Sandals

Some say that Mothers Day is just a practice run for Fathers Day which is usually the weekend of the Haverhill City Open Championships held at Winnekenni Basin. But I would have to disagree. I have seen quite a number of extraordinary things happen on Mothers Day such as the birth of my son for example. But to every one's amazement on Sunday May 11^th, septuagenarian Walter (The Mailman) appeared for first time and then lo and behold Kevin’s (Smitty) car appeared at the courts. All matches were well under way and we hoped he had brought more beer since it was well after noon. He had not played since the winter and was on the disabled list along with Jack who threw his back out while making his bed on the first day of the season (Marines). Kevin suffers from feet and joint problems however and had taken to wearing Jesus sandals and baptizing converts in the basin. First a racquet appeared from his car door and immediately the Toadman yelled out “I am not stringing that racquet!....wait he has a bag....and is he wearing sneakers?” Kev came to play and play well he did. He was the last person off the courts that Sunday and even hit with Little Joe after the matches where over.

Of course there is a price to pay for everything and by the 16-4 Tuesday trashing of Toad & Zeke by Master Loi & Mr. Little Joe, Kevin was back to the sandals, making beer runs and heckling the players. This in no way helped the Toad & Zeke's plight and embarrassment. Victor still remains on vacation in PA.
