The pattern of those ugly ceiling tiles is stamped right smack into my soul. <br /><br />Our old house is so shabby these days. Drab, with the people and magic sucked out. My mother, as we say, would HAVE A FIT. But that house, MY house, is inside me now. I took it safe away. And you already know that, Deborah. Your dreams are telling you. It's right to be shocked and sad. Right to heal in your own time. And good to be at peace in your memories. I wish you safe home.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832573479291712595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245713210697867499.post-77359593187362906472010-05-17T09:49:14.681-04:002010-05-17T09:49:14.681-04:00Thank you, Melodye.

Wrung dry is a good term for it (although now I've got a sneezing cold and everything is... running. :>)<br /><br />Working on your questions now...Debbie Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785048910673370370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245713210697867499.post-27620341190441652192010-05-15T21:40:04.780-04:002010-05-15T21:40:04.780-04:00Hoo boy, can I relate!

But by the time I return home again, I'm usually wrung dry. <br /><br />Complicated...yes. Wishing you a week that brings you HOME again, body mind and spirit.Melodyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187997924850618861noreply@blogger.com
