Briar’s Journal (January 1 to 23, 2014)

Dream Entry*

October 15, 2007

I can only remember fragments of my dream:

Beverly and Penny arguing about whether it’s faster to ice skate or sled to the library.

Norman and Bigfoot throwing ice cubes into a hibernating bear’s cave.

My friends, a duck, and three puppies ice fishing for books.
