Visit with Alice

Alice came to visit for a few days.  We crafted and took long walks ( daily recomended 10000 steps) and went on a picnic and ate good food and chilled.  And, most importantly, I beat her at Scrabble (only 1 time but it's a start).  The PRIZE is that for the next game, Alice will keep score. (Ha!  She hates to keep score).   She wanted to play "ZA" but couldn't use it in a sentence so NOT allowed.  We looked it up after the game and yes it is a word re:  music (or slang for pizza :) so next time we'll allow it.  We checked out the "S" swimming hole then went the other way and explored "Frenchman's hole".  Very nice visit.  Wonder dog enjoyed both directions.  She just likes to go OUT.  I'm not sleeping very well these days.  Could be the 75 lbs of dog snoring at my feet, not sure.  Have been having very wierd dreams - recurring.  I'm on a big hill (or pile or slope ) that was very difficult to climb and cannot figure out how to get down.  It takes me a long time and it's terrifying in all directions but I finally get down.  Then I wake up and am all shook up. I have this dream almost every night now. Wonder when it will not be so terrifying to get down.
