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

Oh so sad

Rhonda is going up to Minot for a few days, and the kids are sad to see her go. Hanna was especially heartbroken this morning. Poor girl. Well, the kids and Daddy will have lots of fun over the next few days. Potato chips on the couch, endless cartoons, cartons of ice cream for dinner, etc...

Well, maybe not. Mozart Appreciation Class starts at 5:30 am sharp. Then, New Testament Greek lessons. A brief sojourn to the homeless shelter to do our civic duty, and then, Quantum Mechanics for Dummies. A light supper of free range chicken which died of natural causes, with alfalfa sprout salsa, and then bedtime, where they will fall asleep to the soothing sounds of protest chants.

After supper last night I took John to Bunker Beach for an hour or so till it closed. Very warm evening, so the water felt just perfect. But, John swam for a bit and then wanted to play in the sand pit. He likes digging holes.
