Quiver

I was shaken from my bed, two A.M. the clock read. Was I dreaming, no here it goes again should I be screaming. Wake up wake up, I said to my husband closeup. I got a sleepy grunt, go back to sleep it was a dreamy stunt. It was no dream, it was a quiver all over me like hot steam. The next day the news had about my shake, two A.M. we had an earthquake.

Have had that experience many times! Good experiential example of "quiver!" Are you, like many of us, in earthquake country! Congratulations on your win. Sending you blessings of a sound sleep - no "quivers" or vibrations sensations!

Most delightful, Paula. I really like the surprise ending. Nothing like a good earthquake to bring a little shake, rattle + roll into our lives - as long as it's a tremor + not the big one. Congratulations! Brian
