“THE DREAM”

Peace River Shopper

When we went outside, I had no idea what I was going to find, but Tommy did look happy. The big truck with the gorilla sitting in the passenger seat, the horse trailer with wooden siding and the big chicken playing the piano were all just sitting there. Then Tommy turned to me and said, Cousin, I just couldn’t leave them behind. We are all friends and hope that we can make a living together. We know it will be hard, but we are going to try and start a chicken farm, a big chicken farm. I said goodbye and wished them luck and started to walk back to our room. As I walked around on the sidewalk, I turned to wave to Tommy. He waved at me with a big smile and as I watched him drive away the gorilla waved at me too. I tried to talk to my wife about what happened, but she didn’t respond to good, so I just went back over and sat down in the chair and waited until our friends called and were ready to head for Tennessee. I assumed that all of that was just a dream I had had and didn’t say anything as we made our way to the mountains. The trip went well and the cabin we rented was great. We all had a great time. White water rafting and tubing down the river was my favorite. My wife’s favorite was the dinner show called the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. It’s a real funny show and they feed you food as you watch it. It’s a live show put on by actors and it’s real funny. Oh yea, it’s a musical show as well, so lots of singing and playing guitars and banjos. Real funny stuff. I highly recommend it. Finally the vacation was over and we were on our way back to Florida. As we passed the little road that went to my aunt’s house, my buddy looked over at me and said that he hoped my cousin Tommy was ok. What? I turned and asked him did he remember my cousin Tommy? He looked at me funny and said, of course I do. What do you think happened to all that chicken feed? As soon as I could, I pulled the car over and started asking what was going on. They all looked at me like I was crazy. We did go to my aunt’s and we did see Tommy. Boy, was that a relief. I thought I had dreamed all that. I told them that the last time I saw Tommy it was at the motel. My wife breaks in and asks; when did you see him there? I said right before we left to go to Tennessee. She smiled and said, I don’t know when, you were with me the whole time and I didn’t see him. I said you didn’t see the big truck and the horse trailer? No she said. Then I realized I must have had a another dream. Ok, I said, let’s just get home and I will figure this out. We got home ok, and everyone went back to our normal lives. It didn’t take long and things were back to normal with me working in the morning and then coming home taking a nap before doing any work around the house. You know, taking the middle of the day off to stay out of all that heat. About a month later Tommy’s mom called me and wanted to give me an update on what had happened. She wanted me to know that Tommy was good and everything worked out. He was still working at the circus and loving every minute of it and that the sheriff had found out who took the chicken feed. Come to find out, the old couple that owned the chicken farm took the feed and hid it so they could get the circus owner to buy some more. They are going to court in a few weeks. She told us that Tommy had grown up a lot and was now coming by once a week to check on her. She wanted to thank me for everything we did and hoped that they didn’t cause us too much trouble. She said that the gorilla, Alvin, ran away again. He had jumped in a big white truck and was pulling a large horse trailer around. Some people said that he was driving around with the Star Spangled Banner playing so loud you could hear it a mile away…
