I dream about a very large house. Mine? I am not sure. The basement is made of very thick cement, almost like a new parking ramp. In one area of the basement, the cement is so deep it is nearly touching a window area. When I am upstairs, on the main floor, I cry about the loss of a female cat that I love. In the dream I can’t remember her name, but she must be Lola. When I go into the basement, a small stray kitten shows up. He seems healthy and fed, but I worry. I make sure I take care of him. There are other cats wandering around the lower level, and I wonder how they they got there.

Day notes:

My mother is home from the hospital today. Perhaps the female cat in the dream is Doreen? Maybe the stray is Snowball.

There is a handsome, updated house for sale a block away. I was wishing we were at a point we could buy it. I really love it. It was built the same year as this house, 1903, and also has a limestone basement. But it is four bedrooms with two bathrooms and has a beautiful backyard with big white pines. I bought a small house in 2020 because at this age I thought that was the proper decision. Now we need more bedrooms for Cullan and our grandkids. Yet, if he finds a new relationship the two could end up buying a house together. Prediction is difficult right now.

I spent yesterday in the hospital with my mother and felt like “meeting with” my great-great grandmother Scholastica Cratte (many different spellings), who was born in Mendota and died in Wabasha. Today I went for the long Mendota walk I used to do on my lunch break when I worked at Ergotron. I photographed a bunch of the historic signage at the Faribault house. I looked into the Fuller ancestry website and saw that one of my great-great-great grandfather Captain Duncan Graham’s daughters, Marie Elizabeth, married Alexander Faribault. Duncan’s daughter Sarah Marie married Etienne Olivier Cratte (originally from Quebec). Their daughter was Scholastica. Both Jean-Baptiste Faribault (Alexander’s father) and Duncan Graham were fur traders in Mendota, and both of their wives were Dakota. Wabasha, the town my grandmother Lenora grew up in, was named by Captain Graham (inspired by his wife’s grandfather Red Leaf Wapasha). It has been reported that Duncan’s parents were members of Scottish nobility and his emigration was a protest against the society of the day. Most of this information is from the Fuller website (links below). Some of it conflicts with the ancestral story from my aunt, but I do trust the Fuller site more than passed-away Aunty Bernadine.

Ancestors (maternal grandmother Lenora Fuller):
Red Leaf, Chief Wapasha I (wife unknown)
Jean Pennishon + Winona Wapasha (Wenonah?)
Captain Duncan Graham + Susanne Istagiwin Hazahotawin Pennishon
Etienne Olivier Cratte + Sarah Marie Graham
Timothy Fuller + Scholastica Josephine Cratte
Henry Timothy Fuller + Matilda Behrns (Behrens?)
Bernard Michael Sheehan + Lenora Mary Fuller

Wednesday, April 22: I am meditating with my ZenWave device and reading my tiny “How to Sit” book by Thich Nhat Hanh. There are a lot of pages about ancestors. He says they are inside of us, in every cell.

It is nighttime. Dark. I am looking out the living room window of my old family house in Fridley, the one I grew up in. I am my current age. The street along the front of the house is shaped like an “L,” as it is in waking life. I see two big bunnies hanging out in the middle of the tar road, and I worry for their safety. But as a car with bright headlights drives toward them, south to north, they run away. Smart bunnies.

Day notes:

I saw two big bunnies in our driveway yesterday morning, and at her dream meeting Susan said babies and bunnies are her dream themes.
