Bright Girl

 Wednesday night, September 9, 2020, I dreamed I visited Africa.  I was in a bus station full of white people.  I thought it was so strange to be in a public place in Africa with so many white people, not one African was there.  Later, we (my family) were in a local home where we would be staying.  Our hostess was an African lady.   She took me to a large home office filled with toys.  There were so many toys, one almost could not walk into the room.  My kids came in behind me to look and touch the toys.  I found two dolls on a bed.  They were the most wild toys I had ever seen.  One had fabric black hair that stood out from the body with dreadlocks that could be shaped and bent.  The other had a colorful, inhuman face.  If you turned the doll to the back and flipped the headdress, it had an angry face.  These dolls were a wonder to me.  I was confounded at how they were not like anything I could ever even imagine.  I was told that someone was at the door to see me.  I went to the door and Kari Kime was there happy to see me.  I hugged her and asked, "Can you believe we are in Africa?"  She became sad.  I asked her what was wrong.  All she would say was, "It's bad."

I woke up at that point.  Friday, Rachel missed her bus.  When I was driving her to school, I told her my dream.  When I described the dolls to Rachel, she immediately said, "Cursed.  They'er cursed don't touch them."

After I mentioned Kari at the end, Rachel already knew the association.  I told her that she was right.  The dream was about the incident with the Bendy toys at Kari's house.  The Bendy and the Ink Machine toys came with a demon that Blaine picked up on.  I felt (even saw) it one time in my house, but dismissed the feeling.  When I moved the toys to my room, the demon tried to frighten me while I slept.  When I discussed a plan with Kevin for dealing with the unwanted demon, it left.

I was so impressed that Rachel knew what was happening before I realized.  I did not make the connection until I remembered thinking about the demon I let in Kari's house after the dream.  Rachel is very intuitive, much like her dad!

Papa Party 2019


Is that Jayne and Michelle? Don't miss the Abby comedy.
You all are so talented.
Make a wish!
This happens so often.

Love the gift wrapping on this one!

Two gluten-free cakes, made by Abby!  The cake on the right, gluten all the way.


Good job!

All the cards for Papa.  The Jayne/Jerry laugh combo is not to be missed.

It's the soaker!  If you ever want to clear a room, bring out a water balloon.
I tell you, I came close to about six heart-attacks before this fight happened and Nellie Boord should be an investigator.  I would run downstairs to fill balloons.  I would run upstairs to make sure my kids were eating lunch and to see how much time I had to set up while keeping balloons hidden.  On each three different trips, this is what Nellie said to me:
"Why are you carrying scissors?"
"Why are you all sweaty?
"Why are you sneaking around!"
The last comment almost caused me to pass out with panic.  The final kicker was when Nellie's sister and brother-in-law came walking up the driveway while I am putting filled balloons in a water cooler.  From a distance, they looked just like Jerry's brother-in-law Jimmy and his wife Elaine!  I just knew that I was dead meat when I saw them.  Thankfully, my heart returned to my chest when they got closer.  Otherwise, the surprise went off swimmingly! 

The Floating Island:  Michael, Kinley, Rachel, and Kevin and more!

Indoor fun.

Kevin's Birthday by the Lake



Be sure to watch the Birthday song.  It is the best part.

That is brownie in the middle.

Kevin usually leaves Rachel a note each morning.  This morning, she left one for Kevin and got Daniel to sign it, too.  She is wonderful.
