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

I raked up another tarp full of leaves this morning. Supposed to rain or snow over the weekend so wanted to get that done. The kids came out for a bit and jumped in the leaves.

Then, we all got in the van. I dropped Rhonda and Hanna off at Cub Foods. John and I took the leaves over and then came back. They had some samples of donuts and milk, and John enjoyed that. Then, we went over to the library to get a new batch. We got the Baby Einstein videotape there and watched it as we had lunch. That one has people speaking in a number of foreign languages, including Russian.

So, got the kids down for their nap about 2. I have some things to read through for my writers meeting tonight.

The kids had fun last night for trick or treats. They liked going around to houses. John liked pushing the doorbells. Then he always tried to go in the house. He figured, hey, that's how it works, isn't it! We push doorbell, they answer, and then we go in. When we got back, Hanna liked helping hand out candy. She got the hang of it real quick. She was putting the candy right in the bags, etc... I opened up our other pumpkin and got out the seeds. This one had more seeds than the other one. Mmm, they were so good, nice and warm right out of the oven.

The Vikes and the Pack play the Sunday night game. Paul will come over and we'll have pizza and nachos.
