A Touch of Class
Which is making tears roll down my cheeks.

These ladies are all class.
Considering I can barely hold a racket, my admiration for them knows no bounds.

I think because of their prowess as well as their attitudes these are the top two female athletes in the world.

Forget Britney Spear's mother - I would like Serena & Venus' mother to sit down with Peyton & Eli's mother, Oliva, and write a parenting book.
Now that would be a best seller!
Is Britney's mother writing a parenting book????????????? YIKES!!
Yes - - - there's a whole 'nother blog post about watching Venus and Serena's mother watch them play each other!!!
Hey Keetha! It was great catching up on your blog. My family and I were in Chicago for a few days! I will post about it later.....I need a nap!!
Vickie - - - I MISSED you in blogland, didn't know you were in Chicago, but I knew you were pretty QUIET on here and on your blog too!!!!
Can't wait to see Chicago pix
I didn't get to see them play but I kept thinking about their family and wondering how they feel during the matches. Either way the family wins but it would be a strange position to be in - cheering for both at the same time.
A little insight - maybe - into how God feels about us. Cheering us ALL on to win. No favorites. Just loving all of us on to victory!
Cool thoughts, Kathy.
In the postgame interview the reported asked Venus if it isn't very difficult on their mother to watch them play each other and how does she know which one to cheer for. Venus grinned and said, "I always think she wants ME to win." It was a very cute/sweet moment.
