Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Good morning. As you can see, it's Sunday morning. Rhonda went to church, and I'm home with the kidlings so she can go. Actually, she was going to go to a Baptist church that is just a few blocks away, just to check it out. (For those familiar with our neighborhood, the church is on 65, but the entrance is off Aberdeen Street. It is just south of that Holiday gas station.)

We'll probably go to Walmart when Rhonda gets back. Better make sure we have some quarters so John can go on the little rides. It's something special for him to do.

John just continues to progress rapidly in his verbal skills. He can say so much more, and carry on little conversations. Yesterday he said "big Daddy, I'm little."

Hanna is about like Ellie when it comes to mealtimes. She will let you know when she is hungry. Almost right on queue, she'll start crying or whimpering. John never really does that. He might ask for some milk when he's hungry, but he doesn't really whine like she does.

The weather is almost ideal this weekend. Will do some grilling over the weekend. Yesterday we had some brats. I also got some steaks, and might do some kebobs.
