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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO TA-DA-BUM-BUMP-DA-DUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 years old today!

Rhonda got him a Thomas cake, and as I mentioned they'll be going to the park today at lunch for a little gettogether, so I'll be heading up there on my lunch hour.

Oh yeah, was going to mention that on Sunday a For Sale sign appeared in our next door neigbor's lawn (the one just to our west.) The oldest boy is graduating from high school, and might be going off to school, leaving the dad and a girl, so the house might be getting big for them. Too bad to see them go, they are very nice, although I don't talk to them much. They aren't out and about a whole lot.

There have been people looking at already. One couple has been by twice. Last night, their second trip, they brough what looked to be Grandpa and Grandma, so they must be really thinking about it. They looked like they had a daughter about Hanna's age, so it would be nice to have another playmate in the neighborhood, and one right next door. That would make three houses in a row with kids all roughly the same age, as two doors down, on the other side of the house for sale, are a nice family with a girl about John's age and a boy just over a year old.
