is that you, clark gable?

I woke to a dream about Ronnie that had me sobbing...
before coffee...
on a Tina Tuesday.
In the dream, it was warm weather and I had the window of my first floor apartment open to the breeze from the garden.
Suddenly a huge, knobby tire appeared, taking up the entire window casement.
Someone was maneuvering a huge Jeep and needed that window space to get the vehicle moved... or did they?
As the tire receded from the opening, I looked out.
Was that a familiar Clark Gable face on the man driving?
Grinning at me, he waved bye...
was that my brother Ronnie???
Later, I was out and about and passed by a police officer in a Jeep...
a tall, good-looking guy with dark hair and movie star appeal...
it was Ronnie...
having another go at life...
as a young cop.
Wow.
Still makes me tear up with happiness for him.
 
I'm glad the ex called with a distraction right after I awoke.
The Church Street Inn property has been sold to LaTour Hotels and they have offered to buy out all the owners of the alternate-years options.
That's right: buy them out.
Not like Diamond Resorts did, with me having to pay them to get free.
What a coincidence, though, that this has occurred.
He and I had a textversation about that Charleston property in mid-November.
He had asked if I was interested in using it this time, as they could not.
I told him we needed to get my name off it "while I am alive".
Now, there's to be a vote on January 31st and my signature was needed so we could both legally be shed of it.
i thank You, God.
I can do that.
Timing is everything.
There are no accidents.

While looking for something else, I found this post, with photos of Ronnie having a good time and just being himself.

Incredibly, this came up in a search for something else today, too.
Ronnie was so loved by so many.
As his sister, that's reassuring to me that so many remember him.
