A close up of Macy's medal from the tournament. This trounament was a test of endurance as much as it was a test of tennis skills. It was unbearably hot that day. They did a great job of not letting it get them down. I missed much of the final match because Emily called to tell me her car had died while she was trying to drive her roommate, Erin, back to Sioux Falls for her parents to pick her up. I hopped into the van to drive home to talk to John about what we were going to do about getting the girls back home again. He went to a local repair shop to talk to them and they brought the car back to St. James on a flat bed trailer. Emily continued on to Sioux Falls with the van so she could get Erin to her parents as planned and all was well. The repair shop diagnosed a transmition problem but John decided to try replacing the alternator. It seemed to work and the car hasn't died on her yet!
