AN UNEXPECTED GUEST...

Let me take you into what my blog is really about...hence it's title!

I for one believe that the loved ones who are deceased are not really gone from our lives and I like to think that they join us whenever they are needed and I have a nice story to tell you if you are willing to believe that it could be true....


Sat. Sept. 3 was the wedding day of a guy who spent many hours growing up with my kids. My son and him were in the same grade and were best buds for awhile.

It was great news hearing that he was tying the knot and that we were invited as he and my son had drifted apart...but then this is a small town so people really don't drift that far...

Anyways we had all decided to attend the wedding which meant dragging my son [all of us] to the church part! My kids were not brought up with a religion and have thanked me many times for that fact of not having to face the Sunday torture of having be preached over. But I do believe that if someone needs to get married in a church then THAT'S their prerogative but we should honor it and so we did...

With a lot of squirming and fidgeting and we all must of suffer from A.D.D but that wasn't our fault either...have you ever sat through a wedding that held a service too and that was officiated by someone who had a hard time with the English language?

All I kept hearing was him call the bride Allicia when her name was Alyssa and go on and on about someone named Sarah? Those whom I talked to afterwards said that they were used to his lack of English skills and normally he speaks through a mike...but that wouldn't have mattered anyways when one couldn't understand him period!

We did sit at the back of the church so we weren't bothering anyone with our in attentiveness.

I was also sitting on the aisle seat so I could take pictures of the bride/groom as they came in and this kept me busy for awhile until sermon time. I don't quite know how to explain this next part because I know the majority of those reading this will shake their heads and say that my mind is slipping again...but then why should I care what they think!


This is what happened...

A very loud thought came into my head and said "look up and take a picture"...so I did


Right above me in the 16th shot of the day was this large Orb! It was very bright on my camera and shocked me and something told me to look back and take another one...

I took lots more of the ceiling and everywhere in the church after those two but captured nothing...not even dust motes!

I also got the feeling of who it was too...

The grooms dad, Gord!

The feeling that this was him increased as the evening went on...the next questionable shot is #37 when they were cutting the cake.

We were only invited to the dance, so I wasn't able to take shots of the supper festivities but through these next shots it may show you some questionable spots that I like to call Orbs. The below photo shows them very faint although the one above the bride has a brighter edging to it.

The shot right after the above one came out all blurry EXCEPT for the Orb, which seems to be fairly clear looking. It also has a strong aura ringing it too! This took lots of power to show it this clearly and the fact that the camera focus on IT!

If any of you have been following my Orb quest most will know that this is a rare one with lots of definition to it! You will also see that this same Orbs shows up lots more in my photos.

The shot below which was #39... shows the size as smaller and what might be matrixed as a smiley face? I think there is someone there from her side as well, just not as strong as Gord's Orb. I think he really wanted to be seen as most of my shots after the cake cutting was from inner urgings that cannot be explained.


The next shot [#44] below is what I would call dust mote orbs and moisture orbs from the fog machine but who knows what Orb might be hiding amongst them dancing the night away....;}

As most know at weddings there is a lot of pranking stuff going on like; all the women have to dance with the groom and the guys for the bride. A normally shy guy did very well on the dance floor and seem to be having a great time and


Was also being watched...

This is another strong Orb behind the groom and has that same strong aura as the large one...was his dad on the dance floor too?

Keeping a close eye on him?

The bride had some of her followers too...

Although it did look like the large orb hung around too...

My last shot of the evening captured these three Orbs trying to get in on the photo action too?

The final largest Orb seem to match the one in the 4th photo from above and both of them has a bright aura around it that is quite thick.

As far as I am concerned the groom's dad suffered much in life with MS and lost his life because of it. It's fitting as far as I am concerned that he got to float around his family, to be there in spirit and hopefully they felt him there like I did!


And thank you Gord for the privileged of showing me what I have suspected all along!


PS:

Must add that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening! I got to dance with my daughter and grand children and watch BillyRoo [son] hide whenever we got the urge to jump around.

This wedding also confirmed to him that he'd elope to Vegas before going through what he just watched his friend go through..."a walking nightmare" in his eyes!

Little does he know...that when the "love of his life" wants what she wants and it's a big wedding....I foresee trouble in their future...;}


But not to worry there doesn't seem to be any "love" interests hanging around...
him or me....:)

YOUR FLAKE OR MINE...

Was PoD's [daughter] venture into community theater's 22nd. stage production this year...all alone as Stage Manager/Set Designer/Set Decor/Hall Decor...etc!

She did a FANTASTIC job as far as I am concerned, granted I might be a bit biased...;)

I, from first hand experience, know how hard Stage Managing is!
More apt title would be "Cat Herder"...if there is such a word!

The addition of other jobs just makes it even harder! Like me, she has to add extra work for added challenge by designing the set, plus help put it up and then decorate it...all according to someone Else's thoughts [author and the director]. This is not easy!

I had decided [along with her urging...;)]to continue to stay out of these productions as the burnt-out feeling that I had about participating in it, still lingers!

But... I am still available to them for any help that might be needed.

In the beginning, PoD started out with great strength and enthusiasm but by curtain time, she was feeling like I usually did...which sadly I was sort of happy about, as she was making me feel like I was a whiner with all of her energy and such.

Most will find that the task is harder than you think, as she did and had to swallow her pride by asking for some help with the set decor...

What was needed was to be more messy and she has a hard time with that as it really isn't in her nature. My advice to her was to have her think of her brother's room or maybe her kid's...

Sorry BillyRoo, AJ & JD...but it's true...;{

No problem after that!

Do you know it's been MANY moons since I have made paper airplanes!

Was fun but mine didn't fly very well!

This was just a tiny bit of help on my part!



Talking about decorating...

I wonder if we had some company watching us that day...

This is a shot that I took for PoD's scrapbook and of all of the photos that I took that day, this is the only oddity that showed up?

I know most of you out there reading this have just rolled your eyes like an annoying teenager! Like what happened to me [during the night that I attended] when I mentioned it to someone. His first comment was the usual one that I get..."QoH, there aren't ghost everywhere that you go!"

How can anyone state that?

My usual response is..."How do YOU know that for SURE?"

I can at least provide proof or at least raise some doubt on the subject, with the photos/voice recorders and videos that we have gotten with our paranormal researches!

My time in this hall, all alone some nights, as I did my sets, made me feel other wise! I have also gotten some odd stuff in the shots that are just too hard to explain away! Plus we have gossip about a lady been seen entering the stage when there was supposedly no one else in the hall? When checking there was no lady! The report was not MY sighting!

I have an odd photo of what some might call the "Orange Angel" in front of a shop on main street even! So I think I can safely say that I can create some doubt in many skeptics on the paranormal being almost everywhere. Most think that it has to be the building that's haunted but they can be wrong...it might just be the LAND that it sits on that's haunted! There are different types of hauntings and most who will visit the courthouse after PoD and I add the paranormal info to the museum, will have to admit to some truth of this matter!

That said...here's more

Poor PoD was totally exhausted and could hardly keep her eyes open in this shot. She had volunteered to put hall decorating back into the production again with decor from previous events [made by me, except for the beach people...Ducky is mine] and I was there to assist in the put up and repair. The Hollywood sign is her master piece! It's very difficult to make HUGE letters and even harder when they are made out of table paper. They have no body and had to be taped to the rails...took some time and lots of bending. One thing about theater time is the great physical work out one gets by climbing the stairs numerous times to get stuff from the groups storage room [next to the H in the photo

The photo board was done by Wilma who did a great job in directing the cats that PoD had to herd...;)

Well done Director Wilma!

As mentioned, I attended Saturday`s performance and had a great meal with the company of some equally great people. Thanks PoD!

I sat next to one of the most wonderful ladies I have ever met and we had a great time catching up on past stories of previous productions. Her and her husband have never missed a single one!

I can`t say much for the horrible idiot sitting right behind me during the play, except that `your a _hole! His name is Annoying Person...see photo below. He kept making loud comments to the characters and thought he was offering up support as an audience member, when all it did was throw them off! I hate those ones and that fact that he was drunk and or stoned didn`t help!

Our seats were closer than I`d liked but as one gets older it might be just something I have to get used to...;(

The odd outlining around the stage masks are reflective and not something paranormal...;)

The one thing I did like about these productions was the food table for the cast and crew! There was never any time to eat the meal provided or even the urge to eat a big meal while nerves ate at you so we would bring something for the snack table.

In the pic below it looks like there was an extra guest...

I hate to think there was dust around the food...;(

As for the Orb...it probably could have used the food for energy....I little ghost humor...

And for actor`s humor... there is the awarding of the `Ham Award` which amazingly PoD did! That was one thing I didn`t do! I assisted in a few on stage but never announced...not my thing! The actor that I voted for didn`t win...;(

But I must admit my second choice did!

Again there was an added watcher...

As for being a dust mote...not bad for a hall being full of people with LOTS of movement...

It should have been snowing dust motes in the picture!

In all of my shots these are the only oddities that are unexplainable to me.

As for the single orb in most of the shots looks like the one that I get in a lot of my shots. There is one paranormal guy out there that feels that these ones have a tendency to follow a person...

Is this one mine or Pod`s....


As for comments on the production...it was very funny and well done by all!

CONGRATULATIONS.....fellow thespians and crew!


And all you ghosts...;)

DEBUNKED...or not?

From our 8th investigation, PoD and I were left with the wonder of the red bat...

Turns out the group had used this as a trigger object and had left it there for us. We made note that it was still in the same position as they left it from last time [I had marked the placement]. The museum staff had made quite a few changes since we were in the basement last but the position of the bat never changed. The last photo I took before the #9 investigation group left with their leader beside me. The bat had moved! I had experimented with it before and it was to heavy to blow with foot traffic around it. Everyone had made note to watch out for it, so it wasn't hit at any time! Of course there was no camera near it to record it!

ALSO....

A photo from #8 investigation taken by a Sask. Paranormal Investigator has caused some speculation on what it might be. The shape in question looked to be like a person's head but upon further checking out I have found it to be the combination of bottles and barber chair head rest as shown in photo below...

BUT....

Another photo taken by the Sask, Paranormal Shadow Hunters has me believing it to be un-debunkable! There is nothing in that room that could have made that shape let alone the difficulty of the shadow effects! It was dark out by that time and the curtains were closed!. There is very little room for maneuvering around especially with a couple of people in the room. Some mention the shadow difference in the second shot...I say she moved enough to change the shadow placement of the headboard. This odd dark shape does not have to be in human form to classified as one of the "shadow people"...



Sorry the posting has taken so long but I do have another life that involves trying to make money so I can continue with this foolishness...;}

PLUS....

Today I have to plan for a meeting at 6:30, we go back to this building again...this time to be interviewed by our local newspaper about what we are doing in there...

This means me writing another long story about how crazy we are.....


HEAVY SIGH.....


Old age memory needs notes you see.....

HOROSCOPES......Good or bad?




When we were at the Paranormal Symposium this year, I picked up this neat book written by Stella Hyde. One must remember that this is HER opinion on what she has interpreted these zodiacs to be...

She does offer a warning on the back...

"Before you buy, look at the title on the cover. What does it say? Darkside. That means you are going to be reading some wince-making stuff about yourself. There are no jolly Brightside platitudes, because there is enough of that kind of thing in the world and every silver lining must have its cloud. You have been warned; anybody who is but a fragile blossom on life's maelstrom had better put the book down now!"


How could I resist...;}





Being a fan of the zodiac I thought I'd like to see the darkside of my symbol [Aquarius] and maybe the others that I know.


I have found that what was in there, about my sign, fits me to a T...sad to say  ;(




I have listed on the left side of my blog, the good parts about me, so you lurkers could have an idea on my personality.




Now let's see if I am brave enough to admit to my darkside...




Firstly, depending on which chart you read, I am supposed to be on the cusp. I am either an Aquarian or Pisces? I chose the Aquarian one because I find it represents me the most.




This is the introductory statement about my sign:


Aquarius is a masculine, fixed Air sign ruled by Uranus. It is the eleventh sign on the zodiac wheel, directly opposite Leo, and is named for the constellation Aquarius [the water carrier], which looks down its nose and takes notes behind the Sun at this time of year.
On the dark side, this makes you a chilly, detached, eccentric loner, with perverse voyeuristic habits and a shard of ice in your heart.




Ain't that a kick in the old ego!




But so F-ing true!




I will agree to all except the " shard of ice in my heart"




Although PoD made comment about the truthfulness of the "ice shard"...which hurt




But do have to admit to her reasoning's....which is, that I don't like to be played the fool. ever!




When wronged, I CAN'T forgive!




It would make it easier to accept their transgressions against me if I felt they were offering sincere apologies. But find that the apologizer usually only does it to ease their conscience, not to make me feel better!


 Don't care for the "perverse voyeurism" part [it reads nasty] but do enjoy people watching and can be quite catty about it?




Again, don't care for the "chilly" part, but do acknowledge that my aloof attitude can be conceived as being such. My aloof look stems from my lack of social skills, shyness and the fact that I have a stuttering problem that has to be controlled at all times. Which are long pauses with me trying to speak...so generally I don't. I try to avoid confrontations unless pushed into it...then watch out!


Guess that makes me "chilly"?



Flip the page and it lists my annoying habits...




Punctuality: "You refuse to follow anyone else's agenda, so never turn up on time, or even on day. People blame it on your legendary but suspect absentmindedness, but you know it's your way of controlling the situation."
I disagree....I hated being late or miss an event!


Toothpaste: "You don't use toothpaste, mostly because you've usually lost the tube [last seen as a bookmark], but clean your teeth at the lab with the hand held sonar gun. They glow a bit in the dark, but it's a good look."
Have to agree...if can't find I would "Ma Giver" something....;}


Temper Gauge: "0 degree to boiling point in .0001 sec. since you don't suffer fools gladly, but like to give people a chance to defend themselves. No red-faced shouting [not logical], just cool insults and deletion of offender from your database."
Dead right on this one!


If that wasn't bad enough I was hit with "personality - aloof, arrogant, alien"


And of course it just had to expound on that subject too...let's just say it was again sadly true?






Ego is now fading badly...



Bitch Rating....A--


Fav Deadly Sin...Sloth because I can be a bit lanquid and maybe Pride...it does explain which again I had to agree...;(




But then flip the page and now I can blame it all on my ruling planet....






Uranus!






Now I know why I suffer from IBS...;{






IT'S ALL MY ANUS'S FAULT!






NOW YOU KNOW WHY I CAN BE SUCH AN ASS!

FRICKIN MISSED IT!

LAST NIGHT WAS THE FULL MOON!

PoD and I were quibbling over when it was going to be. My calender said tonight...but what did that really mean?


So I checked...


For the northern hemisphere, last night’s moon was the full Hunter’s Moon. In the southern hemisphere, it was the second full moon of spring.
The full moon reached the crest of its full phase today (Saturday, October 23) at 1:36 Universal Time. For the Central Time zone in the U.S., that was 8:36 p.m. yesterday, on Friday, October 22.
Tonight’s moon is past full. It is actually a waning moon. However, no matter where you live worldwide, it will be a full-looking waning gibbous moon – not a full moon – that will be rising over your east-northeast horizon this Saturday evening. As a rule of thumb, the moon rises approximately 50 minutes later daily.
However, it is early autumn in the northern hemisphere now, and at this time of year, that rule is broken for the several nights following the full moon. If you reside far enough north of the equator, in fact, you may even see tonight’s waning moon rising before sunset. At Fairbanks, Alaska, for instance, the waning moon will rise before sunset for the next several days.
Our charts are designed for temperate latitudes in North America. Look at the position of yesterday’s full Hunter’s Moon 24 hours ago. (Look at East on the sky chart.) Now note the waning gibbous moon on today’s chart. After 24 hours, the moon has swung almost sideways (instead of downward), so that is why the waning moon rises sooner after sunset in autumn than at other seasons.
Last night, the full Hunter’s Moon shone all night long last night. However, watch again tonight, as the waning gibbous moon repeats the performance, lighting up the nighttime from dusk until dawn!



Hope you understood that.....;}




Why is it important to me?






I had plans on remaking my broom with this year's bountiful harvest of wheat stalks taken from Superb [where we used to live] land. My other one bit the dust a few years ago and I have always wanted to replace mine, as I miss my vehicle of choice....




;)

Must leave you with this scary sight...

No.......not the Space Cat or Space Devil

[PoD & QoH many, many, many moons ago and that many pounds lighter]

NO DECORATIONS IN THE BACKGROUND!

This was one of my "Repressed" periods!






The decor snuck in once the first kid flew the coop!






Speaking of decor...




Need a fast idea to make little "Ghosties" and all you have are those annoying tampons left around...

Or maybe get gruesome...

I LIKE TO BE HELPFUL...;}

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

To those whom this applies to that is and for those who want it too.....;)

 Sweet Peas are giving thanks too....for all the unseasonal sunshine and warmth!

We gave our thanks yesterday with a big meal... which we all rolled away from, only to have it worked off later...when it got dark?


Guests were: PoD's In-Laws and their family; 2 teenagers & 10 dogs, a friend who is camping [working the rigs] in her front yard, my Ex and me. Sadly my son and son-in-law are away working and were only given the holiday day off and are a 4 hr drive away, so had to miss our get together...;(


Happily all the [12-PoD has 2] dogs got to stay outside and all the cats [4] stayed upstairs, the 2 birds were kept in a closed bedroom....so my allergies were okay until the dogs had to come in because it was getting dark out.


But then that was the time we decided to do the rest of the things we all like to do [except the brother-in-law, 12 dogs, 4 cats, Ex and oil guy, who had to go to work] which is........visiting the cemetery at night!






Yup......were nuts!






9:00 found us out walking through Dodge's Cemetery!


It was beautiful out there....so quiet and peaceful




Until we landed...

This was our company's second attempt to do this [last year was too wet] and it was a promise to the kids that had to be kept. This was their request to experience ghost hunting in a grave yard and what better way for us to show young adults how to respect this sacred place while doing so.


These kids have been taught from an early age to respect the spirit world and the darkness doesn't scare them as badly as it does some. These guys were watching the "Saw" series when I got there...it's a show that I hate myself....too gory and sick for my taste. I prefer scare! But that's how immune they have become to the phony. Yes, we do keep an eye on whether they are out torchering animals or not. These In-law kids live in a zoo like world. At their home is still an Iguana, Guinea pig, 5 cats and 2 yard dogs. No worry there or here in my grand kid's zoo...;}


I am not scared in a cemetery just very aware that they can be somewhat eerie and dangerous to those who are susceptible to suggestions of "possession"....;) We are there to teach the kids how NOT to be that way, by facing it properly and by showing them the right way to respect the dead. Doing this in the daylight is just not the same! Sensing spirits in the daylight is not the same as it is in the dark! Your eyes rob you of your true senses in the light, whereas you are robbed of your sight in the dark and have to rely on your feelings instead.




A graveyard is where I give my thanks the most!




I am very happy that all of us were ABOVE the ground and continue to wish to do so!






But I digress...as usual

Small writing needed closer inspection....

Anybody wondering when the hand is going to come out of the grave.....;}

Nope didn't happen!

Took the usual shots and got the usual dust motes..

Only to have this sort of weirdness

Then lightened it...

See when areas are blown up...

I find this odd....look how it lights up his face

And these colored ones...?

I know the majority of these are dust motes but not sure why there are red ones?

Pretty sure this one is an Orb!

Of course I just had to have my "spooky" moment!

I was standing on the roadway taking photos of the group [20 ft away] as they moved towards another spot, when I sensed that there was someone standing next to me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the dark shape of the in-law's son and turned to speak to him......only to find no one standing there! 


Immediate hair-standing-on-whole-body-moment, when I realized that he wasn't standing next to me!

No. One. Was!


I was definitely. positively. certain. that there was something standing next to me! The dark outline was sooooo distinct, even if it was in my perfreal vision!


The feeling stayed even when I quickly rejoined them!

I stayed up with the group after that until I felt it's presence go. It wasn't a bad feeling...just didn't want to experience it again while I was alone! I joked about it so the kids wouldn't feel scared because I wasn't really afraid of it.... just very uneasy feeling it?

There was oddities with how the dead is being treated too, that we wondered about?

Like what was up with this plot...

Two seperate headstones for same grave, neither one damaged and right beside it a mound of dirt overgrown with grass and weeds? The rest of the cemetery is neatly groomed...why not this spot? The parents obviously loved the 2yr old child enough to give him 2 grave stones yet not tidy the spot next to it for at least a few inches along the side of it? Even if was a fresh grave...why not the upkeep? Look at all the stuff around the stones!

There was nice stone benches all over the place to sit on but creeped everyone out? Creepy enough not to sit on any of them!

I felt most were occupied already......oooooo

;}

Nothing there....just creepy. They are much nicer in the daylight!

We noticed another new thing they are trying here....they are laying down pavement looking plots. This one here is very cool looking and love the differnt shaped stone and metal surrounding. No more maintinance just as long as it doesn't sink into the ground, which it shouldn't with it's wide base....see below

This is a shot of one they were just setting up. Was kind of neat to see this kind of change. Will be an expensive one I bet!

Then one has to run into this kind of thing....child size, no name....next to no one

Very sad...;(

But  leaves us with the grim reality....

THERE IS SOMETHING TO GIVE THANKS FOR!

We were able to get back in the cars and drive back home!

Hope the spirits of Dodge Cemetery enjoyed their entertainment on Thanksgiving Eve!

We did.....did you?

DECORATING?


Why do I do it because it causes me sooooooooo much grief when I do!




So why am I so obsessed with it?


Why do I keep on doing it?


It's not for the glory....cause I don't get a lot of it [at least not to my face]




I do it because I love a challenge!


It's something I do to myself to prove that I still got the brain power to pull it off! I know it sounds so egotistical but I don't feel it's that way with me at all! I love the fact that others love what I do, but it really IS just a testing of my abilities and whether I still got it or not!




Why do I LIKE to do it....?



I believe that everything we do outside of our comfort zones [home] should be an adventure of the senses!


We go to the department stores and they try to give you a different atmosphere with their seasonal decor. It gets you in the mood to buy that visual item. Every vendor's place is the same way. So why not everywhere else in your life!




I feel when atmosphere is added to special occasions, it helps to change the mood of the attendees and invites them to let go of the norm. Sort of gets them into the mood! This can happen from the largest event to the smallest house party.




I am always disappointed when I go into someone's home for one of these "rope-in-sales-things" and there is no atmosphere to get one in the mood....but kind of happy too because I am able to go home with minimal spendage! These women should try a more cozier touch if they want to rack in the sales. One doesn't have to go nutty with the decor...most household stuff can be made over with hardly any effort. Throw in mood lighting with delicious cooking smells lightly lingering would work wonders in my mind. Even the slightest effort is better than none...I want to be entertained visually when I go out!




Last years symposium did nothing to get me in the mood to buy or even want to visit a psychic/medium. It was just another sales venue in my mind. So I had suggested some changes. Cover the walls with something or at least get the vendors to spruce up their images and try to make everything more mystic looking.




They agreed and were willing to try!


Here's how it went...

This the large area we had to contend with....there was more room behind me too.


The place is rented with wedding decor always being present and it wasn't meant to be with this theme but we worked it in somehow and it didn't distract too much.


The first night they set up the tables to figure out the flow of the sales floor. I would have rather we had put up the stuff on the walls first but was too tired from the excitement of the drive there to be forceful with that idea. They learn t that the next day...;} It's not fun to work around tables and chairs in the way!

The organizer of the event had purchased 2 huge rolls of 10' high plastic that had stars on it. 1 blue and 1 black. They had planned to secure it with duct tape.

Firstly, all "duct tape" are NOT created equally!

Cheap stuff does not stick for very long....less when warm! 


It was cool enough outside that there wasn't going to be any use of the air conditioner inside, so they covered over the fresh air vents. We forgot about the fact of lots of bodies together in small space will create LOTS of heat build up!

But the overall effect was worth the stress of how it would do....

The above photo is the area that was behind me in the first photo. There was a stage that they had slated for the coffee and coloring area. We didn't cover the walls in that area...mostly because we ran out of stuff to cover it with...so we front dropped it instead with arches of light. There is a sign about the event but was too dark to read. The printing on those signs sucked big time and were rip offs to the customer. I wouldn't have sold them to them...but that's me.



We had our problems with the wind in the entrance way! With covering the vents it got really hot...so we had to open the doors once in awhile to give customers and the vendors a fresh air break! It was fresh alright! We are talking near gale force winds! It blew the hell out of our entrance way. It was a big orange pumpkin arch covered in ivy vines and mini lights. By mid day it was all apart...guess the cheap duct tape didn't like the cold either!

The walls did start to come down...

Nothing anyone could do about them until the next day


It wasn't all decorating...we did do some sight seeing! Last time we were here we couldn't find the beach area...we got lucky this time. We found it by accident!




But man was it windy! The pic below shows how much it affect the water and the dock...there was no way one could even stand on the dock, it was lifting up with the waves too much to be safe! Even the seagulls had trouble with the wind! They kept us entertained for quite awhile! We had some old sandwiches/junk food to get rid of and they were quite happily to fight the wind and each other for them.

They thanked us by poop bombing us while they did it...;{

We also came across this creepy thing too...

The size of it alone is what caught my attention the most and the wonderment of what it might be? I knew it had to do with spiders so I didn't get too close but even at this distance was too close for me...

Never really did get close enough to see clearly what it was that the spider [s?] did wrap up but I figured it to be a bunch of wasps nests? Creeped out I stepped back quickly and as I did I looked down to see this right beside my foot...

I believe this is a tunnel spider nest!






Happily no spider came out of it....






But I did think of where it might be......?








See, it's decorating suck me into coming closer......










The decorating of the symposium turned out to be quite a hit with the vendor's sales and how many that visited the psychics/mediums. They made money this year!




So I guess I was right after all!





This part is the ego talking....;}
