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

Since the kids just had haircuts, last night we took them to Walmart to get their 3 and 4 yr old pics taken. The twist is, we had the pics taken with them dressed up in their wedding outfits, John in his tux and Hanna in her pretty dress. They were ansty, but not overly so, so we got the pics done fairly easily, and they turned out well.

Cold again here. Some records lows, or close to it, around the state yesterday and overnight. Boooooooooo.

This morning John wanted to have a swordfight with the fly swatters, which he likes to do often, except this time he added a twist. He wanted me to kinda step around, like Peter Pan and Hook do when they are swordfighting. Ha. When John pronounces swordfight, he really stresses the long "i" in fight.

While I was getting John ready, Hanna was playing with her little play kitchen in her room. She said she was making supper. I asked what we're having and she said "hot dogs!"
