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

We had an enjoyable day. We went ice skating down at that indoor rink in downtown Minneapolis, in the restored old train station. We met that guy I work with and his wife. It's a mite pricey, 7 bucks per adult, and 5 bucks per kid, but the kids loved it. We had skates for John, but he was a little wobbly, and there only two of those trainer devices for rental (that the kids can hang to while they're skating). So, we just put his boots back on him, and he and Hanna just walked around the rink in their boots. We left there a little after noon, and all of us then went up to the Mcdonalds near the house and had lunch. The kids played on the slides, of course.

It started off rather cold this morning, near 10 below. But, will warm up a bit, and by Tuesday or Wednesdays temps should be in the mid 30s. It's that time of year when temps kinda bounce around.
