Scattered

My mind is more scattered than ever.  Last night I was going to try to plant my zinnias and nasturtiums and I said to Ernie, "I can't find the cosmo seeds you bought the other day."  The man just stared at me and finally I said, "uh....did I just dream that?" and he nodded his head.  Huh.  Oh well, I'm going to go buy the rest of the seeds I need....like cosmos.....and plant tonight if possible.  We'll see what the rain is like today.

I'm confusing my dreams with reality, I can never remember what time of year it is.....I assume this will all correct itself at some point and I'm not dealing with early dementia....  Speaking of dementia, someone from the church visited my dad yesterday but he wasn't responsive enough to take communion.  It made me very sad.

I want the week to hurry up so we can get Ernie's surgery over with.  I wish I knew what time it will be but we don't find out until Thursday afternoon.  Hopefully it will all work out with the boys' schedules, etc.

In the meantime I have the Kinks' Victoria going through my head constantly....

Oh, and yes Don, I SO wish someone had gotten a picture of Berni and Owen having a conversation.  We'll have to lure Berni and Wendy down again sometime.  Owen refers to Berni as 'the guy that likes Lego."

Victoria is my favorite Kinks song. Thinking of you.

I often confuse dreams & reality as well. In fact, I cannot be certain I will not be meeting a 7-foot chicken named Bruce on a roller coaster on top of a skyscraper for a lunch consisting of spaghetti, cotton balls and Peeps. Just have to wait and see.

Let me tell you I do the same thing! I even get mad at my husband sometimes because he pissed me off in a dream. Luckily, he's the nicest guy ever so he doesn't complain. He just laughs and says I'm an entertaining wife.

This is not the first time I've heard of husbands being blamed for things that happened in a dream. Speaking for all husbands, let me just say that this is just not right. We have a hard enough time as it is staying out of the doghouse.

The other topic really interests me. What is the longest that a song has stuck in your head? And is it usually a bad song? I think I had Herman's Hermits' "Henry the Eighth" stuck in my head an entire summer.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
