Weird Dreams #3
OK. This one might be attributable to a delicious wild mushroom risotto (with truffle garlic oil and arugala); a delicious dinner I had with KrO at al Vento (a little neighborhood Italian restaurant that I’ve written about here and here ) Also, I ate way too much so even though I went to bed at 11:30, I was still full and really didn’t sleep well. But I did sleep well enough to have a very weird dream:

Scene: A combination of my grandparents’ house and seminary campus center.
Action: There’s an estate sale going on that seems to be a benefit for the sem and full of my grandparents’ things. I’m interested in some throw rugs for $18 each and discover that one of them is a folded up quilt. I’m very excited because I think that it’s one of my grandmother’s quilt (she made one for each grandchild and great-grandchild, but I never got one) and think that I should buy it but remember thinking how sad it was that I had to buy a quilt of my grandmother’s at an estate sale just like I had to buy the dining room table (which is a true story.)
At the same time I’m going outside to monitor Libby the Wonder Poodle and the orphaned lion cub that I’m fostering. I’m running back and forth between the inside sale and the outside wild-life trying to get the boys to monitor the dog and keep her from harassing the lion cub and examining the quilt only to discover that grandma had not made it as there was a label indicating it was from a gift shop in Nisswa.

I have a feeling if that were real, that things could be very bad for the wonder poodle.

Fostering a lion cub? Definitely the wild mushrooms. They were just plain old mushrooms, right?

plain old wild mushrooms as far as I could tell. It was an legit restaurant, but hey; who knows?

Life sends us curveballs sometimes. I had to buy any of my mother’s material stuff – as she had everything put up for auction.
