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

Rained rather heavily yesterday late afternoon. So, once again couldn't go to the park, the lake, etc... Boooo. Once the rain passed, temps were noticeably cooler. I took the kids for a ride in the bike cart, and it was a little chilly.

The State Fair started here yesterday. With the cooler temps and rain, I wonder what kind of attendance they're getting. Saturday highs are only supposed to be around 70 or so. But, supposedly it is going to be warmer next week. But this week was supposed to be warmer too, and wasn't. Boooooooo.

Twins got pounded last night. Beyond their top two starting pitchers, it is always a mystery how the other pitchers will do. Some nights good, other nights are like last night. At least they still have a big big lead in their division.

Yesterday after the kids came home from Jessica's house (Rhonda worked yesterday) John was saying "They called me Jonathan. I'm not Jonathan, I'm John!" Ha, they must have called him Jonathan over there or something.

I've been playing an audio tape of Dr. Seuss's ABC book when I take the kids to Sue's house. We also have the book, so lately I've given that to John to follow along with as we drive. And he does follow right along, on all the correct pages. If the tape happens to start in the middle or something, he turns right to the correct page.

There was an article in the paper yesterday saying that Blaine has been the fastest growing suburb in the metro area since 2000. I believe it.
