12/13/15 Well this may be my last post on blogger.com because "Google" has forced this over to Google+...so that things will be "compatible". I'm afraid to close this page because I'm sure everything will be gone forever. When I open this blog in Google+ there is nothing left of what I have written - only photos! So, I have copied and pasted everything from this blog site onto a word document and saved it on a flash-drive...just in case! Thanks Google hog!!!
It's been fun...bbbbyyyyyyeeeee.

Funny thing is...

The funny thing is, I started having dreams again. Tuesday night I dreamt that I was at my daughter in law (with 5 kids still living at home). I haven’t dreamt about her for some time. She was in a strange house - one I’d never been in. There were a lot of rooms and each had a toilet - I don‘t remember how many but I would say between 5 to 10. They were all overflowing with raw sewerage. I was trying to clean them up and stop them from overflowing. I woke. My daughter in law used to have dreams about overflowing toilets all the time.
Wednesday night I dreamt that she and my son were have marriage difficulties. Their family was being torn apart. I could only see the two youngest children in the dream. The 9 years old and the 2 years old. I woke

Because I haven’t had dreams about her and then I had two in a row I got worried and called her Wednesday night. I told her about the first dream and she told me how bad her week had been cause my son had been sent to IL and she had to do all the running for all 5 kids by herself. She also told me that the 9 year old had gotten sick that very day and had been in bed all day. I told her about the second dream and she said things were fine between her and my son. I told her to be careful cause you never knew what lay around the corner - for her to be “on guard”. Thursday my daughter in law told me that the 9 year old had been diagnosed with the Swine flu. That really made me worry because of my dreams.

I may have mentioned before in this forum that I used to have dreams a lot but things have been quite for sometime and I was grateful that they were because when I had dreams they were always warnings of “a hard season coming”.

I had another dream last night…too long to go into right now and not about my daughter in law. But this morning - after the strange events around here lately and my dreams starting up again - I FINALLY spent some time with the Lord and opened the Bible to do some reading. As I grabbed the Bible to turn it around I arbitrarily opened it to Hosea 5. It mentioned some of the things that had occurred in my dream last night. Later when I picked up the Bible to write down some things from Hosea I saw that it was opened to Jonah 2-4. I read it and can only wonder what lays ahead.

unexplained moving chain...

Last night I was sitting on my couch with Monk - my little Chihuahua - watching TV. My hubby was in “his chair” watching TV also. My purse was on the couch also, near the end of it. I had my legs stretched out along the couch with my feet hanging off of it. All of a sudden I noticed the little chain on my purse - that has a little brass nugget shaped kinda like a pyramid - with a point on the end of it - was going around in small circles. I watched it for about a minute to see if it would stop. It didn’t. I called my hubby over to look at it. When he saw it he automatically switched into the detective mode and began trying to figure out why this little chain and bobble kept swinging. He took Monk away from me and put him on the other chair. He put his hand all around the purse to see if a breeze was coming from anywhere. The air conditioner nor heater were on. Hubby unplugged the refrigerator…saying “this is a mobile home and vibrations from anything can travel throughout the house.” I sat very still - in the same position I had been when I first saw it moving. Now that all obvious reasons for this chain to be moving had been stopped we just sat there and watched it continue to move.

Finally my hubby reached over and moved the purse slightly and then let fall back into place. The chain stopped moving. Hubby jumped up and down on the floor to see if it would shake the chain back into movement…nothing. He plugged the refrigerator back in…still no movement. We thought it could have been the pulse in my legs or body making the chain move but still no movement though I still hadn’t changed my position at all. My hubby was stumped…which for being such a syndic and logical man was rather unnerving to me.

I watched the chain off and on until we went to bed and still no movement.

orbs in the field behind my house?

A couple of days after finding the "orbs" in my house I was outside taking photos of the dew drops on the grass in the field behind my house. This is what one photo showed when I down loaded it onto my computer. I did not alter this photo in any way.

Are these orbs???

I cleaned out a storage shed for this elderly lady about 4 months ago. She had "bought" this shed from the owner of the rental unit. I have cleaned out 2 more sheds for her and when I clean out the sheds I bring some of the things into my house to clean or sort through and then get rid of - sell or give away. Every since I started doing this I have began to have weird things happening in my house. The main thing is that things disappear and then reappear. I know that is a common thing to have happen but this has gotten really serious and creepy. It has gotten so bad that I can tell when it is going to happen and I even say..."when I turn back around the object WILL be there again". Sure enough it is. Yesterday I put a book by the microwave. I walked to the couch - 5 steps away - and came back...NO BOOK! I stopped and thought..."Instead of LOOKING for the book I will go about my business and when I come back again the book will be there again". Sure enough I finished my work, went back to the microwave and there was the book.

Question: These events type of events began slowly when I first started bring these things - from different sheds - into my house. Eventually I kept an old piece of furniture and odds and ends from one of the sheds. Does anyone think that it is possible that something has attached itself to some of these objects...like the old piece of furniture? I'm a little concerned but I don't get a bad feeling from it - just maybe that someone is trying to get my attention. I don't try to contact anyone when this happens because I don't want to open any "other" doors.

This morning I was taking some photos of some items around the house - things I'm going to put up for sale on craigslist. I took several photos of each item. I took photos in my bedroom of a treadmill. I then took photos of an elliptical and a kitchen table - both were in my kitchen. The elliptical and kitchen table are so close to each other that they touch – we put the elliptical against the window and pushed the table against it to make more room. The window has a heavy silk type curtain that doesn't let light through so it will keep the house cooler. The kitchen table is old – oak I think – and one of the objects I got from one of the shed sales!

When I was preparing the photos for craigslist I opened the ones of the treadmill in the bedroom first – I noticed a “spot”. None of the other photos of the treadmill that I had taken one right after another had any spots though I had taken them at the same angle. When I opened the photos of the table in the kitchen I found another “spot” on the table. I thought - hhhuuuummmm…that kind of looks like an orb. My stomach clinched a little I have to admit. I opened another photo of the table…this time two spots. I opened the photos of the elliptical also in the kitchen. Fist photo – nothing. Second photo of the elliptical there were about 5 “spots”. My computer opens photos on a very large scale. I found other “spots” when I looked at the enlarged photos – spots you can’t see on the smaller photos. I made sure NOT to touch the lens of the camera in case there was lint on it. I went around the house taking photos in every situation I could think of, same lighting, different lighting, same items with lights, without lights. Different areas of different rooms - beside windows - away from windows. There was a small table beside the kitchen table and elliptical that has dust on it from ceramics. I slammed a newspaper on it to scatter the dust towards the table and elliptical and quickly took more photos…nothing. I could not get ONE “spot” to come up on ANY photos. I will try to post some of the photos with the “spots”. Could you please give your opinion on these “spots” and the events? Thanks.

Another dream - a quick one - the year was approx. 1997

Another dream - a quick one...In my dream my husband and I were walking down the sidewalk holding hands and enjoying the day. We were happy and content. As we were walking I looked up at the sky and remarked how beautiful it was. As my husband and I looked up at the sky I noticed some small black dots. I mentioned them to my husband and we watched them in wonder. As we watched the small black dots got closer to us and started getting a little larger. We watched, still baffled as to what they were. Soon the black dots got close enough for us to realize that they were falling from the sky, coming straight at us. Just when we realized that we were in danger we realized that the black objects were ...tires!!! Tires - falling from heaven!! My husband and I released hands and jumped off the sidewalk - dodging the tires. I woke.

In that season of my life I was attending a bible college (along with my husband). I told the dream to one of my mentors - a woman whose ministry was exclusively prayer. She simply asked me “who in your family works with tires”. Her question was sooo simple that I was taken back for a moment and then realized that my oldest son (a mechanic in the Army) worked with tires!! A few months later my husband and I graduated from the bible college and headed into another mission field - this time we went to work with Mercy Ships in Australia. We loved it there. We had found a little apartment close to the ocean where we could walk to work everyday. I was a graphic artist and my husband was an administrator assistant for the hospital ships. We were content and full of awe for the daily adventures we experienced. Six months went by in a flash - then my oldest son called us and told us that his wife of 8 years had left him and their 2 children to move in with another man. We were devastated for our grandchildren and our son. Our son is career Army - he needed family back up for the children so we immediately made plans to head home and take over the household for our son and grandchildren.

That was about 10 years ago. It was the beginning of a rough period but now...10 years later all has worked itself out and peace rules again:)

You learn what to look for in dreams when you write them down and refer to them later on. You learn which dreams are for a purpose and which are just from too much pizza the night before:) (I wonder why we always blame pizza and not mashed potatoes?)

the project that saved my sanity:)

Here is a project I finished in 1994. It was born out of pure - plain boredom!! My husband and I were stationed over seas with the Army and I didn't have anything to keep me artistically entertained so I bought some backing and some embroidery thread and just began....didn't know what I was doing and if you look closely you can see sometimes I went the wrong way with the thread - but 9 years later...TADA!!
Lessons learned....ALWAYS do this type needle work in a "ring" (ya know those things that hold your work stiff). I paid a lady $80 to stretch and starch this baby into shape and boy did it take her a long time and a lot of stretching.
do and learn:)
