Crazy Cabin Visit

I am on my way to visit the Watsons at their cabin.  First I have to go to school for an assembly, so I put on butterfly wings and read a chapter book to all of the students.  After the assembly I go to the cabin (which is actually my grandma's old house.

It is very early when I arrive and I hear Desmond crying, everyone else is asleep.   I go to hold Desmond (he is a little baby) and then he yells "5 minutes".   Jen wakes up and comes to get Desmond.  Desmond is now a toddler.  Jen is cooking something in the microwave and tells Desmond it will be done in five minutes.

Rowan is asleep on the bed and she is a baby.

Dave cooks everyone a dinner on the grill, and Matt and my brother kill two rattlesnakes that are on lawn chairs.  Lydia yells and they kill another rattlesnake in the playroom.

Joann and Kasey from work ask if I can sell my wedding dress so they can pay for their rent.  The lady at the store tells me she will give me $130 for it, and I appologize that is such a low amount.  Joann tells me it's okay because they got 500 for Dana's dress.

I am crying because now I don't have a wedding dress, and Molly shows me some gently used dresses that are only 30 bucks.  There are tons of dresses in a big old store with a staircase. I want the black one with big pink sleeves.

Swimming Hole

I'm a teenager.

Michael (Zzyzx) Montague & I are at a swimming hole.  We hold hands, jump off ledges and look for turtles as we swim back.

I don't know anyone there but him.  It's my first time going to the swimming hole.


As I listen to the conversations going on around me, I realize that everyone else is talking about last nights' prom.   I feel a little left out.  I wasn't invited.

Michael & I jump off a ledge that is new to me.  It's way off in a hidden corner of the swimming hole.  No other kids are there, just some old people drinking 40s.  It's scary because I can't see how deep it is.  After we make the jump, we start to swim back to a more populated area.

As we swim out into the open water, we see that a cliff ledge is on fire!  We swim towards it and I yell for people who are on it to jump into the water.  I tell others to swim to the grove of trees where everyone eats lunch.  I swim to the grove myself.

When I get to the grove of trees, Wave asks me where Rowan & Desmond are.  I tell him that I don't know, but I'll go find them.  As I run off to find my children, I tell people to gather for a headcount.

I quickly find Rowan & Desmond.  It's easy to see Rowan on stage in her hot pink leotard, and Desmond is copying her every move.

I tell them to go find Daddy and continue the other way, telling people to gather in the trees...
