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, Hanna's first day back at day care after a nice long break apparently was a bit of an adjustment for her. I think she did fine at Sue's house, but when she got home last night, she made us pay for traumatizing her. She was just owly and whiny all night. Cried a lot, nothing made her happy, etc...

We've started letting her read in bed now. We've been letting John do that for awhile, but Hanna is getting to where she won't go to sleep right away now, or at least will be awake longer. So, she enjoyed that last night. That settled her down. John was tired as he was falling asleep after awhile. True, it was quarter to ten, but he doesn't usually fall asleep with books in his crib and the light on like that.

I got a difficult chunk of the orca puzzle done last night. I got it connected through the middle of the puzzle all the way from top to bottom. So, the only parts left are holes in the upper left and right corners. It'll still be a tad difficult as the colors are all mostly some shade of blue. I got this middle section done because it was mostly a rose color or some shade like that, so I just found all the pieces close to that color and kept at it till that part was filled in.

Temps were well below zero overnight, with wind chills you don't want to be out in. I think it'll gradually warm up slightly now though.

I got a slew of meetings coming up. A deacon meeting Thursday, supposed to have orchestra practice Saturday morning. If I go I'll leave early cuz I think the kids start swimming lessons. Then next week mission board meeting on Monday, regular deacon meeting on Thursday. Writing group meeting on the 17th. Erg.
