9.7.2026 Hula Hoop Sha-boop
OK this is a long story. Recently I saw something about this hula hoop tree near Cascade. It is the 2020 brainchild of Peggy Huhn and her family who’d seen one in Iowa. It has taken on deeper significance since Peggy’s cancer diagnosis and the loss of her right leg. When people asked ‘what they could do’ for her she asked people to visit the tree and toss a hoop in her honor.
As we’d be close today, I thought I’d check it out. As we’d drove up, another car arrived (with hoops) saying that they were meeting friends there. What are the chances out in the middle of farm fields? They are friends of Peggy. So… the second couple appeared and they asked me to take their photo. And then just as I was going to our car, Peggy appeared with a friend. Really. So I asked if I could take a group photo and took some for them as well. Karma? Good timing? Something else?
