The Jury's Still Out

It's been about a year since those girls came to live amongst us here in Harper. Mayjean is gone. She fell in with this cowboy type fellow she ran into down at the Do Drop In. They said he was covered in tattoos even on his ears and the back of his fingers. She didn't even leave a note for Karl Buck. He didn't seem to be too messed up about it and is currently dating one of the girls from his church. Tanya seems to be doing pretty good. Most of the people here have accepted her as one who has seen the evil of their ways and is trying to be a good person. A few people have not. But they are the same ones who think dancing is wrong and are strongly against premarital sex because it may lead to dancing. There are a lot of common expressions for the holding pattern Tanya is in: the coin ain't hit the ground yet, the fat lady hasn't sung, and the jury is still out. I hope she will be steady to her decision to come here. We will all be waiting to see.
