I had a dream last night that I was driving in my 15 year old SUV along the highway next to a river, and black bears were waving at me.... (they had the look and shape of black bears, but of course the Berenstein Bears voice overs were shouting at me). "Hey Deanna.. when are you coming back with your binoculars and cameras...?" I believe that I am missing my not-so-bad-habit that I got myself into last summer. Immensely. Although.. I am quite elated that now on Wednesday nights when the boy goes to piano, I can keep going in the same direction... and I can head down to the "place" where the bears hang out.... I am very excited about my first sighting of the lovely beasts. I think that's why I had a dream about them.

In other current events that are truely not important... but must share....

I have noticed that we have four stolen soccer balls in our yard. Well stolen kind of.. Cicely the now dead german shepherd had amassed a number of "snowballs" that fell from the sky, (soccerballs kicked over the fence, and into her waiting jaws) from the boys on either side of us.. but I didn't know that she got to the grand total of four... good goin' ole girl... your silly catdog sister has enjoyed playing catdog games with them.

I need to come up with a calendar of activities and adventures for my Stroke Club to do for the next 3 months.. although yesterday at the casino... the girl referred to us the "the stork club".... that would have been good if we had all been a bunch of pregnant people, or people with big noses, or people that had obsessions with pink and blue bankets, or carried dolls, or stole babies, although if we were that.. I don't think we would be living it up aimlessly inside casinos. All the same.. I have to do some good planning for my people that meet each week.. I have already come up with an idea about our next trip to "the casino".... we're sticking close to home
