I've chosen a different name for this little blog after choosing, and then discarding two others today. I've chosen " Kitchen Dreams" because this phrase has a special meaning for me. I had a very
( and I mean VERY vivid dream) a day or two before Grandma Ila passed away. It was of a new kitchen for Grandma. It had old style appliances but it was so exquisitely perfect in every way. The kitchen floor and baseboards were made of a beautiful mahogany wood. Along the side wall was a table upon which were statues of sheep and lambs. They appeared to be glazed in a very luminescent white finish and as I looked at them their eyes became real and looked back at me. The overall impression that this scene gave was one of absolute perfection. The colors in this dream were beyond anything seen in this world. They were so ultra real and vivid. The next night I had another "kitchen dream". In this one the kitchen was the one on the farm. Once again, it was so much more real than anything in this world. The kitchen was as we remember it, however, above the sink, the window looked out on the big red barn. That just made it better. I can't really convey with words just how extraordinarily vivid the kitchens were. I think that these kitchen dreams were a glimpse into the place where Grandma went on October 3, 2004. They were old but restored into absolute perfection.

how lovely. I think "kitchen dreams" is the perfect choice. thanks for sharing those dreams.
wow...perfect title for a family blog. Grandma would be proud. I like her kitchen and remember it well..playing with pots and pans, sitting at the counter, eating cookies, waiting for the home made ice cream to be finished.
