Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Last weekend Kylee and I went on the Ogden Ghost Tour.  It was interesting to walk around and hear ghost stories of certain locations in Ogden.  I love history and thought this would be fun.  Our tour guide told stories and we looked in store windows or at buildings.  We were encouraged to take pictures, if we wanted to.  I listened and took pictures.  I never did see anything that was very ghostly.  But when I got home and looked at my pictures…I thought some of them were pretty interesting...

 

Just the corner of a building on 25th Street.

Do you believe in ghosts?  What do you think?

Mother Nature's Hints!

Well, I’m not really a fan of Halloween and so I guess Mother Nature decided to get me in the mood. It started with the rats…yes you read that right…RATS!  How did we get rats in this quiet little community of K-town? It is just unbelievable. My pest control man verified that they were Norwegian rats and my next door neighbor just happens to speak Norwegian, so he let them know they weren’t welcome in our neighborhood.

Ginger thought she was being helpful and brought one in the house and deposited it at my feet (No…that didn’t go over well.) The only helpful ones in this experience were Ky and Steve. They put the dead rat bodies in the garbage can and made sure they were well buried.






 
A couple of weeks later, I noticed evidence of another kind of rodent. This time on the front porch. The pest control company verified…we have BATS roosting on our front porch Did you know bats are an endangered species and you can’t kill them? They can also get in a ¼ inch opening. I decided to have my courageous kid once again rescue me from the forces of nature. I sent her up the ladder to seal up the spaces.

Then yesterday, I opened the back door and this was hanging from a web and staring me in the face! EEK!!!!!









I got the hint. Today I went to the fabric store to buy fabric for my costume. We bought pumpkins from the neighbor kids and Kylee and I will carve those soon. I got the costumes for the dogs. We are getting ready. No more help from Mother Nature.

Grandpa Garth

It was great to have Grandpa visit us for a week this summer. He will be 90 in September, so he is slowing down a bit, but we kept him going. We went to the Utah State Am at the Salt Lake Country Club, to the Red Barn, shopping and out for ice cream. We also played a lot of cards and watched the British Open on TV, as well as numerous other sporting events. Here is a picture of him at the Red Barn…we didn’t know if the alpacas would spit, so we told him not to get too close…whew, we were lucky. He kept us laughing with his witty humor. We love him!!!

What's Next?????

So...last week I lost my phone case. The next day I lost my iPad. Today I lost my car keys. What's next?
