Originator Surprised At Dream Circle Meeting
The Sun City Center Dream Circle surprised originator, Carol Oschmann, with card, cake and fruit smoothie cocktail at the weekly meeting recently.
One lady was challenged by another group to keep a daily journal. She decided to make it a nightly bedtime letter thanking her creator for the good that happened that day, asking for answers to the challenges and praying for a better world tomorrow. She was surprised to get unforgettable dreams each night for the whole week before that meeting. She wrote them each morning. Some held clear answers, some needed some work. The work the dream circle could help with.
Oftentimes we search for deep meaning in a dream when the subject is as clear as the nose on your face.

Fun, Food, Mystery, Arias On Menu At SJD
Murder On The High C’s, a comedy/musical/murder mystery/dinner, featuring thrilling singing voices and an elegant/swellegant dinner menu, will be served on Friday, April 20 at 7 p.m., at St. John Divine church in Sun City Center. Written and Directed by Peggy Burgess, Resident Programs Department Associate at Freedom Plaza, and creator of the many Freedom Frolics shows, High C’s is a rollicking spoof of ‘whodunnits,’ as guests match wits with the grown-up Hardy Boys as they try to solve the crime.
