Wedding Dress by a River

Walking, trying to get somewhere. By a river, there is a flooded area. I start climbing along rocks & fallen logs so that my feet don't get wet. There are a couple people fishing, and couples & families everywhere along the waters' edge. Someone starts walking out on this log that doesn't look like it's going to go anywhere. I peer ahead to see where it's going, and it just branches off into the middle of nowhere, so I decide not to get on it, and take a different route. There are boxes of books & clothes everywhere, and I figure, why not have a look? I find some weird Time Life books, a lot of crappy books, and I wonder if they're The Book Man's books that we dumped by the river?? Then I start finding clothes. I find one box that is full of great stuff - this lovely fuzzy tank top, some fuzzy bras, and a good sports bra that looks to be just about my size. I realize they're all folded inside silk, and it turns out to be a really nice wedding dress, with the tags still on. I decide to take it - at the very least, I can consign it. I head back for the car. Dev. is there, and I try to explain that hey, it's $60 to consign it, so why not take it? Various boxes don't really hold it well, I end up picking one where the edge tears a little bit from the weight of all it's holding.

Later, I walk into a small cafe. Darr. is there, and he's wearing a full denim outfit with a matching denim cowboy hat. We hug, like it hasn't been a couple years since we last saw each other, and start chatting. He asks me why I haven't called him back, and if I'm going to come this weekend.... I realize that everyone I knew was going to this party, and that I didn't think that I was invited... vague recollections of people telling me about it, and me going "yeah,yeah" feeling all awkward cuz I was invited. We laugh....
