It’s like you just stepped into a very comfortable pair of slippers. Your life there sounds like it suits you so well. Saying “yes” pays off in growing your circle.
Pickleball actually began on Bainbridge Island in Washington State, near my home in Seattle. Though very popular all over the US, I had no idea it had gained an international following until I came to Portugal. A dedicated group here petitioned the mayor to get set to a facility. I think there are 10 Pickleball clubs in Portugal now.
This is wonderful, and also thanks for solving the mystery of what the little blocks of wood that I saw in the park in Uppsala this afternoon are!

I have to think that you just know how to do community, Alison (alongside blogging and cooking :)) Love it!
I’m flattered that you think so. Getting out of my comfort zone here by now extending invitations. We’ll see what happens.
Excellent
You're a quick reader! Thanks for liking and commenting.
I have heard much about people moving to Portugal and now I have a firsthand account of what life is like there. Thank you.
Is this where the pickleball craze started or is it just a global phenomenon?
