"I had this dream that I went to see this house that Dave had designed for me and built for me. It was a new home. It had a huge open area in the middle of it, a lot of rock walls, and then other rooms. It was very big and vast. I never actually saw Dave, my husband, who had passed away, but he had designed this house for me. I take that back. He was in the dream, just not prominent. I walked around the house a lot, and at one point my leg had surgery on it and I could hardly put weight on it, so I was kind of laying around in the house. People came and visited."
