We are still reading Willow Creek Home. In chapter two seven men meet at Papa’s cabin in early evening. They decide to get the Verein’s attention by bringing along clubs to get their food. They left at dawn the next morning, clubs in hand, heading to New Braunfels to get their share of the food.

We are reading Willow Creek  Home.  It’s about a family that moves from Germany to Texas. In chapter one there was a drought and Mina and Papa are concerned about starving to death. It is the middle of summer with temps over 100 degrees. One day while Papa and Mina were picking corn Herr Kauffman comes with news. He tells  Ernst that Herr Bader has seen a storage room filled with food in New Braunfels.
