Another Quiet Week In Lake Wobe. . . Harrisburg

Well, it's been another quiet week in Harrisburg, my home town.
The HHS girls volleyball team were all pretty in pink last night in support of breast cancer awareness. And the HHS boys and girls soccer teams are the third seeds in the State Soccer Tournament that begins Thursday in Aberdeen, the Hub City. The Hub of what, I'm not sure.
The most excitement was the State Soccer Association "forgetting" to reserve rooms for the HHS boys soccer team in Aberdeen. I don't know how you forget an entire team that qualifies for a tournament, but the soccer bureaucrats managed to do that. So now we have the team staying in hunting lodges, trailers, houses, and fleabag motels in Redfield, Webster and Mina Lake. But not Aberdeen.
But one of the boys' father is a good Christian man and he believes this adversity is a sign that our boys will win the Class A championship. Me? I'll put my faith in good crosses to the 18 from Corbin Jensen and Jacob Moir's right foot putting the onion in the back of the net. God--or His/Her hand--only gets involved in soccer when Maradona is on a breakaway in the World Cup.
Otherwise, at the Epp Estate, Daughter Sarah has moved back in, bringing with her a boy friend (who we really, really like) and a big dog (who we are not so fond of). So we are all trying to (re)learn how to all live together again.
Well, that's the news from Harrisburg, where the women are busy, the men are handy, and the children are all waiting for three more schools to be built.
