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

Last night the kids were a little antsy, they seem to be that way after being at Sue's house, like they had fun there but are glad to be home again. John seemed a bit off, so I thought I'd do something with just the two of us. I should do that more anyway with both of them. So, I took Hanna in the house so Rhonda could watch her. (Hanna is not one to be fooled. She came right back downstairs and looked out the door and saw us going and wailed.)

I was going to take John for a little ride, I was going to walk and let John ride his trike on the street. We went up around the corner on Jenkins and as we went John kept saying over and over "Go to London Park?" I hadn't intended to go that far, but he seemed so eager, so we kept going and John pedaled his trike all the way to London Park and back again! That's the first time he had done that! He's growing up, sniff.

Hanna is too smart for her own good. She was starting to get wound up, as she does when she's tired. It was bedtime and I was playing with them on the floor in the living room. Rhonda came out and said to Hanna "Guess what time it is?" And Hanna said "nnoooo". Ha, she knew what Rhonda was talking about and wanted to keep playing!

Supposed to be another hot, steamy day here. Looks like it might rain here any minute, but should be a sauna later. So, we'll probably end up dashing over to the lake tonight.
