My Dream Last Night

I was in a HUGE house, of Modern Architecture, but not cold and sterile like most 20th Century and 21 Century Modern Design.
There where very large rooms, lots of glass and wood, there where vases of flowers, there where lovely mirrors, lots of mirrors.
I recognized this huge house. It was in a dream, I saw it and walked thru it in a dream some time ago. Don't ask how long ago, I have zero concept of the passage of time. The "Zen Eternal Now". But I digress.
My brother and his wife had bought the house and had fixed up beautifully.
There was an indoor ice skating rink, a very large Ball Room, a "Rumpus Room" like the 1950's with comfy chairs, billiards table, end tables, Darts Board.
There was even a lovely "Smoking Room", with special fans and such, located at a corner so this room was almost all windows and warm wood, warm brass and copper.
I was looking out one of the windows and realized the House was built near the sea shore. There was a special, again very large, room to enter and exit on the beach side. This room had showers and big, plush, soft towels.
As I gazed out to the Sea, I saw a HUGE I mean 100 foot high Wave, coming right towards the beach, and of course, this house.
Everyone gathered at that window to watch. My brother told me, don't be afraid, the house was specially redesigned and built, even the glass was better than bullet proof.
As this huge wave from the Sea got closer and closer, I was no longer afraid. I saw the beautiful blues and pale greens and even pinks and whites of this Wave.
As it washed over the house, we all could not suppress "oooo's" and "ahhhhhh's"! It was beautiful. The house, with us in it, was completely underwater and the view out the windows was beautiful.
As it passed, and the wave current with drew to the Sea the Beach was just fine, nothing was washed away and no debris was washed up onto the Beach!
Then it was meal time. I realized then that this Huge House, owned by my brother and his wife, was fully staffed, like a Hotel.
As we sat down to dinner, me, lots of other family and friends, Wait Staff bringing the food, more of these Huge Waves washed over the house. It was beautiful.

I suppose I could try to analyze this dream, but I don't want to.

It's My Turn

I got this in the email from a good friend :)

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,

And bring so much happiness...just as they did.

I want to pay back all the joy they've provided.

Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!

(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)


I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,

And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing my shoes.

I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.

I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!

(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)


When they're on the phone and just out of reach,

I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.

Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,

(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)


When they cook dinner and call me to eat,

I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,

I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,

And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!

(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)

I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,

I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.

I'll take off my socks and throw one away,

And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!

(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)


And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,

I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.

My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,

And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"

God Bless All Moms and Grandmas Everywhere!

I hope this brings a smile
