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

Rhonda went and got her hair done last night, and went to Walmart, so I took the kids outside and let them run through the lawn sprinklers. They like that. Although, here's a quiz. When the sprinklers first came on, one of the children ran right into the water, stood and let the water sprinkle on them, etc... , and one of the children kinda of hesitatingly walked up to the water, stuck out their hand, let a little bit of cold water sprinkle on them, and then ran back out of the reach of the water. OK, which of those was the boy, and which was the girl?

After awhile, we went down to the street and splashed around in the water running down the gutter. Hanna sat down and splashed her hands in it, and John had fun riding his trike through the water.

I dropped John off at Sue's house this morning. Rhonda has a meeting later today, and she'll drop Hanna off there when she goes. I buckled up before starting the car again today, and when the car didn't beep, John said "dinging". Yeah, something was missing that usually happened!

Hanna can be very clingy when she comes home from Sue's house. Seems like she wants to be held and paid attention to even more than when she's been home all day.

The Senior PGA golf tourney starts tomorrow, so the golf course has been a hive of activity all week. Traffic can be fun around there too at rush hour, what with all the construction on Radission south of 109th. That intersection at 105th, which is a stop sign, can be a bear. Traffic can back up a *long* ways on Radisson.
