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 other day, we were in the kitchen playing around, and John said something "one soggy foggy Friday, rain was falling from the sky", which is the first line in the Splish Splash book both John and Hanna really like. I said yea, that's from Splish Splash. Well, Hanna disappeared and I thought nothing of it. And a short time later, she comes back into the kitchen holding the Splish Splash book! ha, just from that one mention she went running off and found that book! Then, yesterday, we were in the family room, and John said something like "zizzer zazzer zuzz", and I said yes, that's from the Dr. Seuss ABC book he likes. Well, Hanna went running off and I thought nothing of it, and a short time later she came back with that ABC book! Just from that one mention again she went and found the book who knows where. I wouldn't have known where it was. She's a little genius.

Last night had the kids outside. Went down on the sled a couple times, and played in the drifts. John brought me a triangular-shaped piece of snow, and said "throw the pizza, Daddy" so I threw the chunk off into the yard and John said "oh no, the pizza is gone!" ha. So, I did that with John, and Hanna of course, for a little while.
