Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1. Despite my latest round of frustrations and worries with the guys, I do think they are pretty marvelous little creatures. We had a nice dinner last night, chatting with Anne McCue playing in the background....her songs went through my head all night. 

2. I've been having some of my recurring dreams again. I'm in my childhood home and I'm trying to lock the door so I can go to bed but the door won't lock...it won't catch, or the door is too narrow, and I just keep trying and trying to lock it. The other dream is being in our apartment in Chicago and there is a flood or rain coming through the ceiling and it's falling apart and we're trying to save our things or get to safety. Sometimes they leave me unsettled. For some reason they've been on my mind a lot lately..... I never dream about our current house, or other places we lived here or in Michigan...just my childhood home in Lisle, the apartment in Chicago and sometimes my grandparents' house in Maine...although I don't seem to dream about that as much anymore....

3. The mulch Ernie got me, was it for Mother's Day?, is still sitting in our driveway. Sigh. However, I can't be too sad about it as the squirrels are loving it....busily digging little holes in it.

4. The other day Ernie and Owen were driving and a squirrel ran in front of them. It scampered past them in time and didn't get hit. A minute later Ernie leaned over to Owen and said, "You might want to mention to that squirrel that it should use the squirrel crossings" and then went back to driving. Owen sat for a moment and then laughed and laughed and laughed....and laughed. 

5. That made me think of this.

6. I think I have a bit of a cold. Shall we keep track? Maybe I can keep a chart of some sorts. Sigh.

7. Don't FORGET....RB MORRIS THIS SATURDAY!
