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

Something I think I forgot to mention. Last Saturday we went ice skating. I finally got around to looking up where the public rinks are near us, and turns out there is one up at Sand Park, just a few blocks away. We've been here going on 5 years now, and I never knew that was there. There's also one down at Golf Ball Park. The kids enjoyed it for the most part, but it's hard for them to stand up on the skates. We brought along a stool that they could lean on and then we helped push them around the ice. We also brought a plastic tobaggen, and I pulled them around the ice on that. That was probably their favorite thing. John then wandered around the park. He and Rhonda walked through a stand of trees there, and they called it the "Hundred Acre Wood".

Mucho cold today. Brrr. Wind chills that you don't want to be out in for very long.
