“At least those weren’t a dream” he said to himself. He went through his morning routine, brushed his teeth, answered natures call, and showered. After dressing, he went down to the kitchen where he found a note from his parents,

“Hi…
we’re driving up state to shop for some new plantings for the yard, didn’t think you’d want to come…there are waffles in the freezer. We’re going to stop and visit your uncle on the way back, see you around supper time.
Love,

Mom”

He made himself a plate of waffles and ate them quickly, washing it down with a glass of milk. After breakfast he went out onto the front porch to take in the scenes of the day. It was mid morning, the sun was out, people were outside, some were working in their yards, he saw a jogger go by; it was a nice morning.
