Shipwreck on Our Pergo Lake

Peter installed a beautiful Pergo hardwood floor last month throughout our laundry, kitchen, and eating area. I could not be more delighted! Not only is it so easy easy to sweep up, but it looks even better than we thought it would.

Upon laying the Pergo, the kids immediately deemed it "The Lake" because you can lay on your belly and make motions like you're swimming and get somewhere. (I haven't tried this myself, in case you're wondering...)

Since then, we've had many a reinactment of the story of Baby Moses on Lake Pergo with Hannah in the starring role of "Big Sister Miriam" with whomever is available to play the other parts. (My favorite was when she made Uncle Joe the Princess. He can ham it up BIG TIME!)

On Sunday, Peter and I were sitting at the table talking and Hannah was sitting in a rather large box on The Lake. She was making the box sway around and looked a little panicked, until we heard her sing to herself these comforting words:

"Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea."

The Navy Hymn - Eternal Father, Strong to Save.

Thank you Granny for such a wonderful CD!
