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

Haven't been here much lately. My computer at home is really messed up. Not sure if I'm going to be able to get it back. I have a fairly recent backup, so am trying to get that restored. But, tried overwriting the existing OS with what I have backed up, but that doesn't work terribly well while it is running. So, next will have to try installing NT to a different temp directory, like WINNT.1, then do the restore and hope that works.

Had lots of fun in Tennessee. John enjoyed himself. Last night I said something to him about Thomas, and he said "I want to go to train sets", meaning he wanted to go play with that Thomas set we saw at the Customs House museum in Clarksville! He still remembered!

That Sunday we went to a church service where Brian and Nassim were going. They had a guest speaker that week, from Mississippi. The accent and everything. He was fun to listen to. At one point he said, speaking as the Romans to Jesus on the cross, "Hey Saviour boy, let's see ya come down from there and do som savin'" ha, I knew I was in the South

This will be the first weekend I've been home in three weeks! wheee. will take Hanna to her last swimming lesson of the session tomorrow. They'll get to go down the blue slide there, but after the slides in Minot, this one will seem boring.
