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

ah, blessed summer

It has returned, as it does every year for a few blessed days about this time of year. The summer heat. It's been in the low 90s here the last couple days. On Saturday we went to the lake. We were lucky to get a parking spot, I've never seen it that full. People ended up parking on the road. There was a wedding there in the shelter, so that brought a bunch of people, but it was still a busy place.

Today then, we went over to Bunker Beach for awhile. With the heat, the water felt so good, so John went swimming for a long time, and only went to the sandpit for a little while. Even Hanna swam for a long time. Ahhhh. It was quite busy there too, needless to say.

So tomorrow, the kids go to Jessica's house. At the end of the week we head up to ND. The kids are already looking forward to the trip, and seeing a bunch of cousins.
