Finally caught up. Months ago I dreamed that Daddy and I were playing a Gettysburg game. I've finally started it. I'm working on the box top. It depicts the fall of Major General Reynolds and is called GETTYSBURG. After some thought I chose him for the cover because he was killed instantly leading his troops into battle on the first day, my best witches and I had gotten an old time picture taken in the house where his body was taken, and he was from Lancaster. I know a lot about Gettysburg, but after beginning the sketch I've discovered my choice was better than expected. He's not buried in Gettysburg National Cemetery, although there is a monument in honor of him right at the front of the graveyard. He's buried in Lancaster Cemetery, so I'm going to have to visit there soon and get a picture. He went to school nearby in Lititz. When I first moved here I heard the gunshot across the street of another man shot in the head and killed instantly, he was from Lititz. Reynolds was the most highly decorated soldier killed at Gettysburg. He had been to New Orleans. Forty-two when he was killed, a Virgo, he was secretly engaged. As I was lying in bed thinking about my game, like I'm apt to do, I thought The Black Death game will be next. If I can't sell them I'll figure out how to sell them myself on Ebay. I can do everything myself as usual with pie boxes, prints, and glue. I'll keep you updated.

Dreams 8/14


 Couple of sweet dreams first, Susie, some Dream People, and I were writing a sitcom. We were working in a sunny office when my high school boyfriend came in for an interview. He looked the same. He said that he didn't know anybody there when I walked up and told him that wasn't true. We hired him. We were thinking about what the sitcom would be like. I said it had to be a comedy. For some reason I was dressed as a french maid, so I would play the maid. I told Susie I thought it would be funny if she played the daughter, a silly, goth, outcast, and she agreed. At this time BJ was not around. We were talking about a theme song, and three of the others had instruments: drums, guitar, and another that escapes me. I said that BJ played piano and saxophone, and that I thought he could write it. Susie and I thought that we could write the scripts like French and Saunders. 

  In the following dream I was in an obstacle course race with Shiner, crawling under a pink ribbon through the grass.

The Thief of Bagdad (1924)

Dreams 8/13


 Dreamed I was at a Christmas partry at my grandmother's house. We were making rag dolls. I'd made one earlier with yellow braided pigtails and a red bonnet. The last I'd seen of my latest was on my Aunt Janet's arm in the passenger seat of a car before she vanished. I was upset. Mummy had found my one from last year thinking she was the missing doll. I was sulking that she wasn't. 

Lincoln Caverns

  All of our caves across Pennsylvania are so different. Lincoln Caverns begin as pueblos or Fraggle Rock but become mosque-like, remarkable...
