| LIFE IN SOLERA | JANUARY 2022 | 35
After a couple of long and sometimes lonely years, we pray that
2022 will be a healthy, happy year for everyone, surrounded by those
you love.
It was definitely a very Merry Christmas for the Tennis Titan ladies
again this year. Beverly Crowe hosted the Fourth Annual Christmas
luncheon for us at her beautifully decorated home. She trimmed the
tree, decked the halls, and spread Christmas cheer to all of us.
We were pleasantly surprised that our dear friend Betty O'Connor
came all the way from Oceanside to join us. We had not seen
her for two years. Betty is 95 now and looking good. Her sweet
granddaughter, Anne Clark, drove her all the way. Betty was our
tennis guru here at Solera. There are several ladies among us who
started playing with Betty as their first teacher. When I last played
doubles with Betty here in Solera, she was 90 years young. You didn't
dare hit a ball anywhere near her, or the point was over very quickly.
After feasting on lots of food and getting caught up on everyone's
lives and families, we also had a white elephant gift exchange. It
was lots of fun and laughs as we opened packages and exchanged
presents. ~ Shirley Ferguson
