That was a good size one. Did you see the meteor shower ? It was getting good and then....clouds . I'm hoping to try again tonight if the clouds roll away... Cliff I went out three nights and did not even see a faint one. We were clouds all those nights and tonight it is still cloudy. My daughter who lives farther North seen some. Her and her friend seen a fireball. I was talking to her on phone at the time as I was looking up also but only clouds. When is the next shower?

Hi Lois. Just wondering how "things" are going with the neighbors? I mean the part about them "avoiding you"?
I can understand people being afraid. Like you said, the noises and the way the room turned out, plus the frightened young ladies, made you jumpy.
I guess sometimes people think the best way to deal with these "things" is to try not to think about it, not mention it; and hope it all just blows over. You were in it with them, so they hope you just forget about it too. 🙂
But in the future, surely they will remember who they can turn to for level-headed comfort!

Well the Father said hi to me as he drove up tonight . Just said hi Lois how is it going? We sure been watching your humming birds. I have scores of them on my porch as I hang the feeders there. That is all he said as I was leaving myself.

I have one hummingbird this year! (But no hummingbird feeders). I planted "butterfly bushes" 2 summers ago, and this little guy seems to enjoy my flowering vine that is growing 10 feet up onto the deck ( from my patio area to the deck off of the kitchen upstairs). He's hard to see, but this also makes him visible from windows of the house! And, talking about dragonflies on the crop circle thread, that struck a chord with me also. I've seen a lot flying in my yard this summer! They are big and black/purple ? and I first thought they were wasps because I see them most when mowing; even at my old house where I also mow. I live close enough to water at my new home that I can figure it out, but otherwise, I dont know why I'm seeing them more! Unfortunately, I have resorted to bug spraying my yard this year. Probably why I dont see many butterflies. The bug spray doesn't work on ticks, though its supposed to; so how much damage am I doing? I have also sprayed weed control on individual weeds. Not something I do because I do a lot of hand-pulling- the neighbors prolly think I am "nuts"! This is the first time I have actively used chemicals in my yard, and I feel terrible about it! Really! I have seen so many "lawn chemical" trucks in this neighborhood . . . and I haven't seen my one yard bunny since my "garden wall" is almost completed. No skunks either. 😅 Anyway, so glad your immediate neighbors speak to you (in this busy, busy world). I have gotten familiar with mine, but we seem to always be waving to each other as we drive off . . .

I have gotten familiar with mine, but we seem to always be waving to each other as we drive off . . . I have never seen a dragon fly up close. I have seen those black things over water when fishing. are those called dragon flies also? I seen Monarch butter fly today and a fireball go over my house and head tonight. Must mean something. I use to have tons of Monarchs in the late summer and fall. Since they been dying off I have not seen one in about five years now. The girls went back to school today. So they won't be home alone any longer during the week. All I do is kill my grass when I spray for weeds. I think the wind blows it. I know you are not suppose to spray when it is windy. I put a photo of a humming bird feeder at night on FB. and you will not believe it. This bat was drinking from it. I don't know how to put the photo on here, maybe sky can post it. I will try and e-mail it to him.

Those bats! 😀 I know we have them around here at night, too. I think thats what I saw that one night pulling in my driveway- a bat! They flutter around just briefly enough to look like birds, but they are the only " birds" I see at night. Lol. Yes, these dark dragonflies are rather big (I think). I have 2 birdbaths that I try to keep clean (even from bug spray) and the dragonflies just might be why I am seeing bats this summer ( more obviously, anyway). I only sprayed the back yard because of the dogs. I still see butterflies by the front bushes. I did see a monarch last year! I usually have 2 frogs; one on back patio and one near front stoop, I only saw them at the beginning of summer. ? My neighbor with a pool had turtles! As soon as it stays cooled down, my husky will be willing to stay out longer. Funny as it sounds, I think he makes the back yard safer for critters- ya know, keeping the cats away! 😀

My family has been having a bad time lately. My daughter moved up here a couple of months ago with her daughter Rose. You may remember me mentioning her a few times. She did not want to be here . Told her Mom she was going to run away back home to cape. She got into pot and I don't know what all. Anna decided to let her stay with relatives down there provided she finish school. Well she miss school and did not come home all night. We found out why she did not want to leave. She has a boyfriend. He is 29 years old. Yes he is 13 years older. She is only sixteen. I think maybe he is a drug runner. What a mess. My poor daughter is at wits end.
She had to turn her in to the police and child welfare. Worrying all the time that something bad was going to happen. All we could think about " is she out on the streets? Is she eating?' She would not text her Mom back nor return her calls for two weeks now.
It is so hard to believe . She had all the brains and does not have any when it comes to her life now. Just that old man. They went and searched his trailer last night and she was not there. Around ten at night they picked her up off the streets. She was walking to a friends . but had stayed weekends at the trailer.
They took her to Park Hill Mo. just south of St. Louis.. She has been under a doctors care for about a year now. She has had stomach aches since she was small. No one could find a reason for it. So they put her on relaxers of some kind. . That was another worry. Was she mixing those with other drugs.
She does not have access to her phone and won't for the next week. So no contact. But my daughter was crying her heart out on the phone this morning from being so relief.
This guy is a real scumbag. She had a chance to go live with her Dad in Cape. but chose not to. he was her last hope. But it is better she is far from this guy now. Who knows where it will end of . They may put her into foster care. But my daughter says she will run away from them also. She told her Mom that she was ruining her life. Can you believe that. I would of told her. " Rose you are ruining your life. " Everyone has tried to talk to her when she first got up here. Relatives her same age. She even told her cousin Nadia she knew she was doing wrong. I have not been able to sleep for months now. Even asking myself would she harm her own self.?
I would like prayers for her. Her faith has not sustain her. She was always into the church.
She was the granddaughter who took those photos over the highway in Springfield when they came up for Easter one year. Those photos are on this thread.
I have not been much for reading and Posting on here for awhile now.
I get on messenger on FB with my other kids a lot but we do not discuss Rose. I pray she can get her act together. It is going to be a long haul if she has been taking drugs . They tested her last night but we have not heard yet. And all the while my daughter was in the hospital yesterday in surgery. When it rains it pours. They took eight hours before they got her end. Her Dad went and got her .. as she was leaving the hospital with him still drugged.. she got the call from Mo. When it rains it pours.
My grandson was a problem for three years. The one who came up here with his Mom .. my other daughter. I'm happy to report he loves it here now and has a very sweet girlfriend. He also is in his second year of College. He tried and tried to talk to Rose and told her living in Cape is for losers. He was the one who got jumped by five guys and almost beat to death down in Cape. Well he was mixing with the wrong crowd also. I thought when my four got grown that would be the end of worrying but then you got your grandkids ..We have 17 of them now a few older and a lot more going into their teens.

I know I would like to know who the ghost were in the home I grew up in. I never seen them but my siblings did. A little girl and a woman her Mother. The top floor burned once and we think they died in it. Now the house has burned to the ground. Where do ghost go when the house they haunt in is no more?
When my brother saw them back in the fifties the little girl had no face on one side. It was like the color black. She was with her Mother out in the hall one night. They looked into my brothers room. Then they walked on by his door way. He was in bed. It was late. When he went out into the hall he seen no one. Boy!! can he remember the detail on this. Their hair do and what kind of ribbons they wore. What color they were. The dresses they wore he told me once the color pattern and buttons and bows . He must have a photographic memory like me.
He was talking about this just the other day. He is getting up in years and alone now . He talks about his childhood all the time. All my siblings did before they passed on.
I still want to know where they went when the house burned down in the 80's

Thank you for sharing about Rose. And yes, I remembered her name as the one who took those pictures. (I still seem to remember kids names so much better than adults 🙂). This "pot" thing is so confusing. Missouri (the Cape) is still not going "legal" with pot, but all these young people are hearing that it is legal in other states. Years ago I did know of a woman with a certain disability of her walk and some speech problems that smoking pot helped; so I am not against that. I'm sorry to hear about the Cape. It goes right in there with all the bad publicity of the Ozarks the past 10 yrs. Supposedly a ton of meth labs all over Missouri - the police are VERY busy; and suspects come in all ages. To this day, I still think of "pot" as a "gateway drug". By that I mean that once your lungs and brain are adjusted to smoking pot, it becomes so much easier to smoke other things. And when it gets easier, a person has the tendency to think that they aren't harming themselves (or anyone else). Transitioning from a teenager into adulthood is hard enough without polluting yourself. The 29 yr old is definitely taking advantage, but I bet his friends don't care about that either. And the lake area; lots of places to hide. You know all this, so I don't mean to be a "downer". Two of my kids have experimented with pot. It was made very clear that I am "against recreational drugs", and despite the disappointment, we are called to love our children through everything. Tough love has its place, but there is only a small window of time where it can properly be used; IMHO. Theres a way to play "good cop" and not "give in"! Reassure your daughter that she raised your granddaughter in the Faith, and to keep praying! The Holy Spirit goes way beyond what humans can do!! I will pray that the right people get involved in her life to help her! We all worry about the bad things that can happen, and we've all heard horror stories; in really bad times I use that as encouragement for myself! "Well, THIS hasn't happened", etc. YET (there are a lot of "yets" in using ). Anything you can find to be thankful or positive about, hold onto! I keep my crying as private as I can (and my anger) and just hope and pray for a better day! (My hope rests on things expected and unseen- that tend to happen in the weirdest ways and timings). 😊Be strong and couragous

Thanks jc. She is a smart girl and I believe she will see the light of day soon. My daughter's biggest worry was her out on the streets. Everyone was praying she would be ok and it seems now that she has been placed in a much better place. I would love to see her come home.. go back to school. Her Mom misses her so. My daughter brings dinner here and we eat together sometimes. She says I have only my cats now to keep me company. She may only be smoking pot and not doing any other substance. She claims she was not. We still have not heard from this place at Park Hill. The caseworker has not contacted my daughter yet. They told her "your daughter will be taking classes here" which is good. I wondered what in the world will she do there with out outside contact. I just hope she does not take it out on her Mother. I will post any news about her thus far. thank you again. 😊Be strong and couragous

I tore a muscle in my back tying my shoes yesterday. What a dork I am sometimes. No, you are not a "dork" on this. Think of the angle that you were in when tying your shoes. Same angle of pulling weeds if a person doesn't bend at the knees! Its always the worst position to do anything! (I call it the "dishwasher angle". It doesn't matter how you do it; you eventually bend the wrong way- even just shutting the dishwasher!). This happens to me all the time. I work hard, do some lifting being careful, and then get myself in that one angle, one time, and wham! I've hurt this one particular muscle in my back! Hope your discomfort doesn't last, Sky! 😅

I still want to know where they went when the house burned down in the 80's Interesting. Your brother just went into the hallway ( didn't scream, cover his head, or run past the area to "safety"). Do you know what made the house burn a second time? Old, bad wiring, or something similar discovered by fire inspectors? Any one "hinting" that "spirits" caused the fire? If a house burns a second time, or more, lets say the "spirits" become aware that their "home" has burnt down. Would they stay on the land, maybe hoping another house gets built there? Or realize they're dead or should have died AT LEAST in the second fire. (If ghostings actually work this way). According to most "natural lore", fire can be cleansing (maybe not in he77. Lol!) Maybe that's why I am such a "pyro". One time, to the frustration of my dad (he likes plants ALMOST as much as me) I purposely burnt two bushes to the ground (a watched and contained fire). Well, he wasn't so mad when they flourished the next year (after looking like they were dying).

I just posted here to you jc and I guess I never created it. Stupid me.
I told you my brother froze for awhile, they went out into the hall. And the house burned down by renters. A teenage boy threw the covers on his bed over on an electric heater in his sleep. He was not hurt but the fire was too much out of control.

Now that I have check the threads here I will get on with what has been happening in my house. At first I did not want to say anything. But it has been three nights now. Soon as I fall asleep a loud fast clicking sound comes out of my kitchen. I run to the door and flip the light on. I see nothing. Except the cupboard doors are hanging opened. This sound is loud like a metal clanking sound. But it is like a repeating clicking noise.
I let it go but then last night I was just drifting off when it sounded in my ear. I went and turn the light on. Guess what I saw? my cupboard doors were open again and last night I made darn sure they were closed when I went to bed.
It is freaking me out as I'm about to go to bed again in a few. Why does it wait til my head is almost under sleeping?
My husband cannot hear very well. I even tried to wake him. He told me I was imagining things. The way it sound I expected to see the ceiling on the floor or worse.

😄 Yep. And I'm glad that you guys can joke about it so that I know what is going on. 😀 ***** Just a half hour ago or so, my mom and I were talking in her front room and there was a loud bang on the front doors window. At least thats how I heard it. She said "THAT was a ghost" and HER saying that freaked me out! But on discussion, she heard the sound come from our refrigerator, and I trust HER directional hearing better than my own. . . and then I reminded her that she had just rearranged her freezer. . . But I guess she said "ghost" because she's been hearing noises alot. Sigh. I told her how when we first moved in here I purposely sat around here and just listened to all the house noises. She admits that she did that for the first time here recently when my dad was in the hospital and wasn't afraid. So, is she looking to me for reassurance just since my dads' been home? IDK. **** Lois, you have talked about your faith in Jesus, and you've had plenty of experience, so just tell that "ghost" in your kitchen to go away if you want to. Really only a matter of time before you got a visit. 😊 ***** As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of liked watching that show "Ghost whisperer". I'd always like to hope that "someone" could help "lost spirits", but to me, that show was totally entertainment; I couldn't learn a thing from it. (Sorry).
Being "attractive" to spirits isn't always a bad thing. . . . G-d made you this way! 😉

I'm still keeping the kitchen light on. And I don't hear it now. One night I will have it off and see what happens. If it is there with the light off it will prove to me one way or the other. I'm giving this more time before I do.

Patty made this news post on FB awhile ago. It sure got my attention fast as it was an inland of water out on the west coast. I mention this to Jo once. I thought maybe it was the inland waters in Washington state I was seeing. But she told me this article was referring to Salton Sea. I wanted to share it here. Yes I had that dream again last month. I thought I had dreamed it for the last time. www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-earthquake-swarm-20160930-snap-story.html

And powerful aftershocks larger than magnitude 7 could pulverize the region, sending shaking into San Diego County and into the San Gabriel Valley.
From the article lois posted.
Jo said on another thread that they are doing fine (San diego co.).
The middle-aged couple that just bought my house are from CA.
