Dreamed that I was part of kid's project. There were different subject areas: math, writing, reading, history, and so forth. The kids went from area to area and filled out worksheets for that subject. When they finished a worksheet, they took it and taped it onto the windows so the work could be seen by anyone standing outside. The kids were having a great time running from area to area and filling out the worksheets. As the worksheets got posted, parents and siblings walked past the windows that were rapidly filling up with filled-out worksheets. The entire scene was joyous and bright.

There was a repeat dream as well--a replay of a dream that I had in the past few weeks, but that had faded upon awakening. It involved water, a boat, an alligator and something to do with trying to capture the gator using a loaf of bread. I don't recall more of the details, but I did recognize that the dream was a repeat.

Went to Ananda for a vege T-day feast. Was really good! Some kind of nut loaf with side dishes of honeyed carrots and pineapple plus asparagus spears. Started with a spinach, pomegranate, pine nut salad. Desserts were pecan, pumpkin and caramel-apple pies with some kind of tofu whipped cream topping that was almost better than the pies.

Sat with a family--parents and three kids. He was Filipino. His wife was part Hawaiian. Kids were exotic looking. He and an elderly woman who joined the table had both been to India. So, I got to share some of my old Indian stories, which was pleasant.

Elderly woman was from San Francisco--came all the way down for the meal! Although, she didn't have a lot of good things to say about the dishes, she ate her share--especially the pies.

The Ananda players put on a Wodehouse skit, which was fairly amusing--had several good laughs as the scene unfolded. By the end of the skit, I was having some shaking and tremors beginning to manifest. Sitting for such a long time (2+ hours) was not ideal. Helped with the cleanup, which helped flatten some of the shaking/tremors.

Going to nap out for a short while. A fitting conclusion to the event. Glad I didn't agree to head for D&D's afterwards. Enough food and stimulation for the day. Family members scattered across the state today--hope their T-day events were fun and enjoyable... I give thanks for them and everyone in my life... may they all be blessed and filled with joy...
