Duma Key Psychic Strangeness

Shelly is reading Duma Key by Steven King. She says it starts out slow but gets pretty good. Since she has been reading that book a couple of odd things have happened. Our little white dog got a new squeaky toy, we like to name them because he will go get the one that you tell him to, like "Go get dragon." and most of the time he will bring you the right one. My daughter named the new one Pursey. It kind of freaked Shelly out because one of the characters in the book is named Pursey (not sure about the spelling but that doesn't matter). This morning at the kitchen table, I had a strange urge to draw a little tree, which I did. (kind of like the mashed potatoes mountain on Close Encounters of the third kind) Shelly saw it and asked "What's that?" I said "Oh just a futuristic tree that I had an urge to draw." She immediately started flipping through the pages of the book and showed me a little drawing from the book. It was a simplistic tree very much like the one I drew. Neither my daughter nor I had even looked in the book. Shelly hasn't finished it yet, I'm wondering what strangeness will happen next.

    I love Stephen King... I've read lots of his stories. I think YDG is right. You should run or at least stop drawing things!

    YDG, I'll just be glad when she's finished with the book.
    Joy, I've banded myself from drawing.
    BP, or maybe that's why god has taken an interest in me.

    Let me know when the movie about the book and your family comes out.
    Of course, by then... y'all will be chasing each other with knives. And watch out what the dog retrieves next.....
