In the dream I had last night, I was walking down the street I lived on when I was in the eighth grade, with my best friend from eighth grade. The road looked like it did then, and I looked like I did then, but my friend looked like she looks now. As a matter of fact, everything in the dream looked like it did then, except her. This is sort of what I looked like then:
We came to a place in the road where a rose bush had grown over the road, and we had to walk through it to get to where we were going. As we walked through it, the thorns on the rosebush snagged on my clothing. Donna, my friend, was helping me get untangled from the thorns. I reached for one of the canes of the rosebush, and got about 20 thorns stuck in my thumb. I said to her, “I need a tweezer to get these out.”
So, we went to my mother’s house, which looked on the outside like it looked when I was in the eighth grade. Except, that when we walked up on the carport, instead of a regular door like my mother has, there was a sliding glass door there. The whole inside of the house was crammed with furniture, so much that my mother, who looked like she looked when I was in the eighth grade, had to move a little round wooden table so that Donna and I could slip in sideways to get into the house.
Once inside the house, I asked my mother for a tweezer. She said there was one in the bathroom. So, I went into the bathroom. In the bathroom, I noticed that it was pouring down rain outside, and the ceiling of the bathroom was leaking, so much that there was a huge puddle of water on the floor. I also noticed that someone had re-tiled the bathroom with a beautiful tile pattern. I wondered to myself in the dream why someone would re-tile the floor but leave the roof to leak so much. I looked in the medicine cabinet for a tweezer, but there was not one there.
I went back out to the living area, where I noticed that the ceiling was leaking heavily in there, too. I told my mother that there was no tweezer in the bathroom. She then said, “Well, if you had asked me I would have told you there was one on that little table by the door.” The one she moved so we could get in. I walked over there and got the tweezer and picked the thorns out of my thumb.
Then, I asked my mother why she had not had her roof repaired. She said, “I asked Seth to do it, and he said he would, but Dick got mad at me because I asked Seth to do it, so I told Seth not to do it, and Dick never came to do it after that.” (Seth is my son, who was not even thought of when I was in the eighth grade, and Dick is my older brother) And I said, “Well, Seth knows how to do it, and I will call him right now to come over and fix that roof.” End of dream.
So, if anyone has a clue what this all means, please let me know.

Dear Fab Grandma – First off, I am new to this stuff so I hope I do this to form. I found your blog via RV There Yet. Second, you are not alone with your hair story…last year while in Phoenix I went to gal that was retired and got my “poodle” cut. And by that I mean…Note to self. If you walk in and see a dog grooming station next to the beauty chair beware! I wore a hat for three weeks till I got home. Then I had to give my regular haircut lady a $10 tip for correcting everything. So I know your pain and I cried a little too! Also, we are owners of an RV park in Withrop, WA and are always on the look-out for workampers. If you think you might like to head out our way let us know. Thanks for a great story!

I’m not too good at interpreting dreams so will leave that to someone else. I just read someplace in a comment by you that you didn’t see a doctor about your gluten problem. I’m not going to either as I don’t have any insurance at the moment. I know, that I know, after reading about gluten problems in various blogs that it is “my” problem too and will simply change my eating habits to GF. I’ve enjoyed visiting your blog and will come again. 🙂

I had to run right back over. My parents are no longer living but came from a small place called Riddleville, GA. Hardly a dot on the map. They moved to Florida after being married and I was born there. Yep, concerning the GF, I though my problems were just old age setting in! Thanks God that wasn’t a right way of thinking. Thanks for dropping by and please come again. BTW, I meant to say earlier, your 8th grade photo is adorable. Oh, and my camera is a Canon 20D, and I have three lense; Canon 300 telephoto, Sigma Macro, and Canon EFS 17-85 mm. Photography is my first love, well, right after my hubby. 🙂

I don’t know a whole lot about dreams, but I would say that might be why Mama is so crabby, having to deal with all that dang furniture in her house and the part about Dick getting mad that someone else was going to do what he should be doing as her son, is probably an insight that he should be doing it, but doesn’t even bother to call her or go see her and he has more time off than me or Alan. He also has CRS disease (Can’t Remember Shit) Hmmmmm!
