Is there such a thing as ~FATE~?
i got 8+ hours of sleep last night....quite unusual for me.
I woke up at seven....so some simple math will tell us I fell asleep between 10 and 11. I was up this morning for about an hour. Enough to get a small bowl of oatmeal in my stomach, then I literally face-planted in my bed for another 4 hours. My body feels completely exhausted...but maybe I'm just incredibly lazy today.
My dogs are like WTF?!?! we wanna play!
Sorry kids.
Mama's gonna be a lazy ass today. Join me if you wish.
Anywho........I had a few interesting dreams and all of them got me questioning the idea of fate? What is fate? is there such a thing? Is there a certain path or journey that God (or whatever force you believe in) considers ideal for us to take, but we ultimately choose? Or do we have no say whatsoever in the outcome of our lives? <----this one is hard to make sense of, but many of us believe it. If you believe it, what have you experienced in your life that makes you do so?
There was my intellectual contribution for today....I'll be very interested in what y'all have to say....maybe i can make sense of my dreams.

Car porn
Well a couple posts ago I showed a pic of my affordable dream car. Since then I have actually gotten a couple of e-mails asking what my ultimate, if-ya-have-to-ask-you-can't-afford, dream car is.
It's a Bugatti Veyron. There are only 300 produced, it goes from 0-60 in a mind blowing 3 seconds, top speed 250 mph. and the price tag ya ask?....brace yourself...a cool $2,000,000! But looook at it! It's just.. .it's...DAMN! :)

Recurring dreams
So over the last couple of weeks, I've been having strange dreams of the same theme and involving the same things. Strangely, Josh had the same strange dreams last night that I've been having.
Back On Monday ......

Stay cool ...... find some fresh air ......
Peace. J.

JULIE'S RIVER JOURNAL - SECOND WEEK
July 3, 2008
Took off late afternoon and arrived at claim around 7:00pm. Got organized and fixed turkey dogs for dinner. Long day of running around and getting things done. Ready for bed early. Read a few chapters in book.
July 4, 2008
Up early to discover I'd left the eggs at home. So it was a bowl of raisin bran for breakfast then off to the hole for a couple hours work. Dave needed oil for the chainsaw so we drove to Cecilville, to Doyle's Camp. They are open Friday, Saturday & Sunday only from 12 - 8. We got there at 12:15. Not that it is a long drive but man it we had gotten there earlier and they were closed! Grrrr! No 4th parade this year. It got moved to the "Forks" ..... Forks of Salmon. Which is not any bigger than Cecilville ..... maybe a population of 75. Got back with eggs and oil and ate lunch then back to the gold hole. Mined till about 5:00 then stopped and did clean up. Homegrown artichokes for dinner and cantaloupe. Bed. More chapters read.
July 5, 2008
Up early to a huge breakfast of eggs, turkey bacon, potatoes and toast. Then back to work at the hole. Morning run produced a nice piece of gold and a lot of little pieces. Dave's friend Mitch showed up with another friend Al. Right about lunchtime so we ended up skipping lunch and mining with them. Mitch had the fever bad and could not get him to slow down and run the high banker properly. Probably lost gold. Kind of a frustrating afternoon. After shutting down and doing clean up Mitch and Al left. YAY! Dinner was tacos, broccoli and cantaloupe. Bed. More reading.
July 6, 2008
Early rising again. Another large breakfast. Off to the hole. Same routine, broke for lunch, afternoon run ..... clean up and dinner. Beautiful day. Found gold. Always good. Dinner was pork loin chops with corn on the cob and applesauce. Early to bed. Read a lot tonight.
July 7, 2008
Woke up tired. Could barely eat breakfast. Went to hole and did the morning run. Broke for lunch. We decided to take the afternoon off since we were both spent. Dave made a beautiful tent site and got the tent set up. I read. And read. And read. Hammocks are up and way to comfortable! At least till the afternoon sun hits them, then ..... well, a bit warm at best. Went swimming in afternoon in the river. Played with dogs. Dinner was hamburgers w/cheese and zucchini and applesauce. Went for a long walk after dinner. Got back after dark. Straight to bed. Finished book in the afternoon so no reading tonight. Had to tell Dave the end of the story. Refrigerator broken. Losing food.
July 8, 2008
We lost milk due to the frig. No eggs left. Didn't trust what bacon was left. So, toast for breakfast and a granola bar. Then down to the hole for a couple hours before loading up and heading home. Found a bit of gold. Jumped in river to cool down before the drive home. And here I am.
DREAMS:
Don't normally remember my dreams. But this trip we were "dry" ..... and after the second night exhaustion helped put me to sleep. And did I dream. I don't remember much but here is a sampling:
Crab Man from the tv show My Name Is Earl is washing the windows on the trailer. I am naked on the bed and shocked to see him out there this early in the morning washing my windows AND he's peeking in ......
cllecr calls and tell me that my granddaughter lauralew had called her and asked her if she could wear some lip gloss to wherever she was going. This made me mad and I called Laura and asked her why she would call cllecr and ask her such a thing. Her reply: "Well, I can't ask you four!"
lauralew is walking down a street with a child. Her hand on his shoulder. As I approach she totally dismisses me as if I don't exist. I call to her and she keeps walking.
My lifelong friend Nancy has called and wants me to come over. I pass her husband on the way into their house and he tells me she is sick. As I enter Nancy is curled up in the corner with a piece of paper and pen, she is sweating profusely. "I have Coyote (I don't remember what followed coyote). I have company coming for dinner you need to do my grocery shopping. I tell her she needs to call off her dinner party and I'm not doing any of her grocery shopping.
NEW EXPERIENCES ON THE RIVER:
A beautiful Eagle flies up river every morning .... does some fishing in the river and flies back down river. An amazing sight to behold. One magnificent bird. Huge. Massive wingspan.
For lack of not knowing what to call it ...... for the first time we saw a river otter or Fisher (maybe) in the river. It swam right up to Joe ..... they touched noses, it did a few turns in the water and was gone. Have not seen it since.
MEMORIES:
Emotions got to me this trip. It has not been like that for a long time. Again being "dry" helps me to remember things I may not otherwise. And tears flowed. Standing in the place where the cabin once stood a train hit me. A memory train. Pictures of past. Pictures of happy times. Wanting so badly for my dad to see us there working .... where he and his dad and other family members worked. He'd be thrilled.
I was hoping to replace the camera that I broke with something cheap to get us by till we can afford something else. But the day the refrigerator arrived, the microwave quit. Blew up. Gonzo. And now the camera money will go to a microwave. Lately it has been nonstop crap here ...... one thing after another.
We will head back into the claim Friday afternoon after Dave's doctors appointment. I will come out Monday to deal with Monday night senior bingo. No one there to take money or hand out money so I was nominated. Again. I wanted my summer off from the bingo bunch. Grrrr! I'll go back in on Tuesday. And more than likely come out Thursday .... maybe even Wednesday ..... truly depends on the doctor appointment.
Well .... that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Dry no more ..... its about time I get my ass in the shower ..... phew!
Peace. J.
