I spent my Mother's Day in Shrewsbury playing tennis all day. Ann and I won a match and lost a match, so it wasn't bad. We walked out proud, and surprisingly we weren't treated like trash. Most people seemed to either not know that we were from South or completely disregard it. It was a fun experience, and it was kind of interesting to see how dedicated people are to the sport. Though, I don't think I can spend too much time around some of the people that were there.
After Ann and I won our first match this woman came up to us and congratulated us. It was some random woman and she noticed that we were about to go play Wachusett. She said she watched the Wachusett girls play and she gave us tips on how to beat them. She was really nice and encouraging. I was so taken aback by her politeness though that I didn't listen to a single word she said. I was just glad that she was being so friendly. All I could do was nod and smile, which must have seemed pretty dumb but Ann was talking for me so it was all good.
I wish I could have done something cool for mother's day but I didn't have the time and my mom doesn't really have many interests that would allow me to devise some sort of special mother's day gift or celebration for her. It's whatever, though. She knows I love her, and vice versa. We don't need the celebrations to prove that.
