dolariAnd some days, things just CLICK.
Woke up from a terrible dream, one which I have no intention of heeding. An Aunt, Uncle and tiny little niece were downstairs for the weekend.
This particular Aunt and Niece I love having over...for a strange reason. :) They're from the interior of Mexico, and looking at them is ltierally like looking an Mayan carved figures. They have the perfect Mayan profile, and it's very interesting to see. She speaks very little English, I speak very little Spanish. Makes for interestnig conversations. We've really tried to be good friends, but the language gap is too wide.
We went to go see The Grandmother Who Would Not Die (Said with complete and total respect - this is one tough lady), who literally cried when we all came in to see her at the old folks home. Actually, I felt bad for the girls she was having lunch with, since we seemed to rip her from the table from them to have dinner with us in one of the "Family" rooms.
Heaven help me, when I become an old lady, I'm gonna be like Mom's Mom and stay at home until the last days of my life. Old Folks Homes are SUCH depressing palces to be. However, they like it when you smile at them, andI did that.
WE had dinner with her (Actually, she had dinner, we all just sat around her). We gave her a gingerbread house my sister made for her, and spent a few hours just tlaking with her. She's doing MUCH better. This time alst year she was delusional ,and completely Not There. She looks good and, personally, I'd send her home, but The Uncles don't think that is a very good idea at all...mainly because while she's NOT A shut in, they'd rather not have to constantly check in on her.
We left to go to another Uncle's "house." In quotes. This is the STRANGEST house I've ever seen. And the COOLEST house I've ever seen. A Feng Shui master would probably choke and die if he saw it, but it's just TOO DAMNED COOL for anyone to live in.
My uncle owns about 200 acres between Nockernut and Union, Texas. Beautiful country. mostly pasture land with huge clumps of trees everywhere.. He's planning to start a cattle ranch out there...this Uncle has had three ranches already,a nd now that he's inbetween San Antonio and Houston, he's hoping his brothers will help out. My dad wants IN. They're all country boys.
So, he went and got one of the new big barns. All metallic, weather proofed and so on and so forth. And one third of THAT is being converted into a HOUSE. A big beautiful HOUSE. Not a "living area" or "rest area" An actual two bedroom HOUSE.
It's like having a huge house with a seventeen car garage. Or four diesel truck garage. :)
So we sat outside, with a fire going...and talked and talked and drank (well, they drank) and talked...it took a few hours before we realized, that except for one uncle and a grandmother, virtually everyone from my father's side of the family was there. Four brothers, and six cousins.
The sky out there, 8 miles from ANY city, and 40 miles from any big city, was BLACK. Pitch BLACK.
I was in heaven - we had woods, black stars, a telescope and good friends by a fire.
We must have encountered another Time Dialation Bubble, becuase I swore we were there for half the night...just sitting around the fire, talking. When we left, four hours elapsed.
I got to know my cousin Jennifer (yup, two of us) a bit better. We have a LOT in common, and she's currently in Austin. I need to visit her.
While I love going to these things...I felt kinda heartsick when we left - I love doing stuff like this...but once I come out to them...I seriously doubt it'll ever happen again.
Might as well make the time we have together good times....

Could it be a matter of the dream indicating what you're willing to go through to keep reading it or to continue on your course?
I've had a recurring theme in some of my dreams that I've finally figured out. Here is adietary staple I'm eating and I discover that it contains some horrific quantity or type of meat (murdered pig being the worst, usually, but in at least one dream a product included human-based ingredients). I've often been puzzled by these dreams and only figured it out recently. It's my concerns that I haven't figureoud out all such ingredients (mono and diglycerides not explicitly stated as being from vegetable sources -- I'm presently trusting most cases where the product has a Ksher certification not by the one certifier I've concluded is as good as no Kosher certification -- being a relatively recent example).
