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

Our Man Saturday

Well, t'is a good thing we didn't go up to Minot today. This morning some rather strong storms raced straight down I-94, and got to our house around 10:30 am. Strong wind and rain for a short time. I'm glad we didn't have to drive through that last week.

The weatherman said it would be close to 100 today. Well, oops. After the storm it was in the 70s till mid afternoon. Then, edged into the 80s, so we took the kids over to Bunker Beach. Water was a tad cool at first, but not too bad considering. John just loves playing around in the wave pool. Other people saw him and marvelled at how comfortable he was moving around in the water. Those Astrakhan kids! Hanna is also playing more in the water. When I went over to her, she splashed around and then told me to say "Look at that girl swim!" Ha.

Rhonda and the kids are next door right now, a little birthday party for Maya.
