So yesterday we were promised a storm. I was concerned since I had to travel the long road between Prince Albert and Regina. Last weekend, the driving conditions were terrible – enough snow and 60 to 80 KM winds to make for a deadly combination. And it was – deadly. I don’t think that even Provincial soccer finals risked taking those kind of risks.
I picked Sara up from school early and we started out in what seemed to be relatively nice weather. The road all the way was clear. We arrived in time and checked into our hotel room before heading to the soccer centre.
Regina is in dire need of a new soccer centre. Their’s is in pretty bad shape. The washroom facilities are so bad that the girls try to avoid having to use them. I think that it is an old hockey arena somewhat hastily refurbished with a tile floor to become an indoor soccer facility. Not a whole lot different in size than the one in Prince Albert, but the big difference seemed to be the temperature. Yesterday, the temperature inside was almost as cold as outside minus the wind!
But, in spite of the less than ideal playing conditions, Sara’s team won! 1 – 0 And, best of all – Sara scored the winning goal!! (and she plays defense)
So here I am in Regina blogging from the public library, waiting for the next game to start. Sara had to be there an hour early so I whipped back here quickly to do something more interesting than standing in the cold arena waiting for her game to start.
