As I was headed home from visiting the family in Southwest Iowa it was a beautiful partly cloudy typical windy Iowa spring day. As we drove along one of the back roads we came across a small but nicely honored cemetery. Below are two photos of the sight.

I stopped briefly to snap a couple of shots and off we went down the road. A few miles down the road we see off in the distance hundreds of flags in the distance on top of a hill. We decided to take a stop off at the Tabor Iowa cemetery.

(A quick side note before the photos)
The Tabor Cemetery is where many members of my family were laid to rest. It was amazing and humbling all at the same time.

On this memorial day weekend I would like to remember all those that have been before us farming the lands of the mid west, fighting for our freedoms, standing up for what they believed in, and built from nothing everything. Thank you for what we have today even though many have lost sight of that.

That is all…..

A friend and I were talking about the dreams we had the night before and how they were just really strange odd or just plain weird.  She had asked what my dream was about. Here is the conversation we had straight out of our chat log but cleaned up a little.

Friend: So what was your dream about?

Me: the best way to describe it was i bought or rented not sure this “apartment” but it turned out to be a massive maze of rooms full of cool stuff that when we were given the keys told if we cleaned it out we got to keep anything we wanted and if we sold it we got to keep the money.  There were guns, collectibles, a massive train set and loads more.  It even had a private door to a bar / Mexican restaurant next door that was run by an Asian named SAM.

Her: I seriously just LOL’d

Me: why?

Her: A Mexican restaurant ran by and Asian named Sam?…. That is totally random.

Me: Tell me about it I am the one who had the dream. What was yours about?

Her: Well you and I, the kids, and your room mate were all in a basement but we were actually on the death star. the boys were dressed like ewoks, me like Leia, you were Han, and your room mate was chewbaca (the Star Wars topic of convos from last last night). We were fighting big monster beetles (that would be the Fable 2 part of my day) and we had to save someone (cant remember who) from having an alien burst out of their chest (enter Space Balls), then all the sudden we were in a roller disco (I think Austin Powers Gold member is to blame for that) and after the roller disco  but then I got woke up cause the dogs knocked something over in the living room.

Me: LOL ROFL

Her: My fav part is your room mate, the blond chewbaca!

So lets take a look at these dreams shall we. My dream was just down right weird and odd and the fact that I now have an inventory of things in my head that was in that maze of a building. I think I have been watching to much auction / picking / storage shows on tv.

Hers on the other hand  was induced mostly by pain medications and lack of sleep so she says. I just think she is weird.

Now every time i watch Star Wars I will picture her 2 little kids running around as ewoks and a blond chewbaca.  What dreams may come?

THE SAGA CONTINUES……..
