### Dreams versus reality!

It is strange what dreams can do to you. I teach piano lessons in Black Forest, about a 30 minute drive. As I was driving back out of a fairy tale forest with dark, lowering sky (it had been raining unicorns and dragons earlier that afternoon)and the spring grass was a deep, dark green and beautiful. I passed a sign, stapled to a telephone pole advertising lab puppies and I thought, "I want a house out here and a lab puppy and ... Wait, a puppy, me! What am I thinking. I would probably fall in love with it and then become deathly ill because of my allergies and besides, I can't afford a house in never-never land without prince charming and... If I lived here, I would let the dandelions grow because I love the look of the yellow dots poking out of the green grass and then those weeds would overrun the charming looking ..." etc and etc and etc.
Ah, dreams crushed by reality!!
By the way- I got the job. I interviewed for a fifth grade position at the school I am at now (Rockrimmon Elementary School) and I GOT the job. Whew! Here we go....
Up, up and away to the future and beyond!
