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

Well, I ain't raking any leaves today. The winds started to pick up yesterday afternoon, the flakes started to fall, and by evening a storm was brewing. Today the snow is still falling, winds are brisk. Probably 4 inches on the ground or so. Could get another 1 to 3 by tomorrow.

When we got home from church, John wanted to play out in the snow, so I took both kids outside. OK, quiz time. Using your knowledge of boys and girls, which one do you think wanted to come in first, and which one wanted to stay out longer and play in the snow and ride the trike into snow piles and eat snow?

When I got Hanna from the nursery, both John and Hanna must have gone somewhere to practice for their Christmas program, because the worker said that John had come over to Hanna and held her hand and led her around, etc... Awww, he's a good big brother!

Went to see a matinee yesterday, saw Runaway Jury. It was OK. It kept you going right up to the end, although I didn't like the reasons that were behind what was going on. And a lot of Movie Things happened that just didn't seem plausible, but it was a fun thriller type movie.

Looks like the Vikes won. But only because they played a team even more worthless than the Vikes are.
