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

Last night there was an open house at John's preschool. I got to see his room and his teachers, and his coathook, and box. Saw a little picture he drew. Others had drawn some pretty good faces, his wasn't as well defined. He is a bit behind in the drawing dept.

There was someone dressed in a Clifford costume, and both John and Hanna loved that. Several times they went up to Clifford to give him a hug. Hanna was especially tickled. At the end, they got some popsicles.

Hanna will not have any trouble fitting into school. She'll do just fine. She likes the whole experience, and gets along well with other kids.

On the way there, we drove by Calvin Christian School. I hadn't been by there before, and didn't know exactly where it was. But John knew where we were! We went by and John said "this is Sarah's school!"

I have school tomorrow. A seminar in the morning (a prof from St Olaf will talk about ethics in software engineering) and my Software Engineering I class in the afternoon.

The last couple times for lunch, I ate at a Noodles place. Mmm. I noticed a small Greek deli around the corner from that I'd like to try. See if they have stuffed grape leaves. Their window said they had Tabbouleh salad. Mmmm!

Last night finally got around to watching some of the Closing Ceremony from the Olympics, which I taped and just haven't had time to get to since. Pretty elaborate, lots of Greek folk dancing and music.
