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

John was still asleep when I left for work today. I called later and talked to him on the phone. He said "You had to go to work." Sounds like they were going to play Musikgarten. John was tooting on a flute and banging around in the background.

A bit warmer here today, but sounds like more snow and cooler weather is on the way. We will be well over the average snowfall by the time this winter is done.

I took Hanna outside with me when I shovelled the driveway. She loves to push the little red shovel around. Then, both kids had baths.

We keep the bag with all the swimming trunks, towels and stuff in the closet. And, when I come home from work Hanna likes to untie my shoes, then pulls me upstairs cuz she knows I change clothes then. She always runs into the closet then and points at the bag and says "swimming lessons." Ha. One day I changed shirts, and then was doing something else, and Hanna went and got the sweatpants I usually put on and dragged them out and said "pants". ha, she knows my routine!
