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

The drive in wasn't as bad as it could've been. It was slow, and the roads were wet, but at least they weren't icy. Driving home last night wasn't horrible either. I did leave about 4:30, but the roads were only wet, so the pace of traffic was tolerable. There was ice on the driveway this morning though.

Saw several UPS trucks going north on the freeway as I was coming in. I always see lots of trucks coming north in the morning. There is a huge distribution center just a few blocks from where I work, so they come out of there. Then, in the evening, as I'm going home, the trucks are coming back south heading for the barn.

John wanted to go out and play in the snow last night. He said it was "slippery"! He remembered snow from last winter!

We played a bit last night with this Disney LeapPad-like toy, from what must have been around 1990 or so. It has several papery inserts that you put in, and then activate things with touch. I would ask John which one he wanted to do, and he'd say "hmmm, let me see..." Meanwhile, Hanna was busy taking all those papers from me one by one, putting them off to the side, and then giving them back to me. Once she was kinda running around and tripped and fell into my knee. Ouch. She cried for a bit.
