Enough already

Ok, so my ghost is just annoying now. Last night I smelled a sudden waft of smoke, like a candle being blown out. I asked Dale if he smelled it, but he didn't. He, however, could smell cookies baking and wondered if I had started a batch (like I would do that!). And then Lesley came down stairs wanting to know if we were baking anything as she could smell pastry.
I think my ghost is trying to tell me something, like get off your butt and feed your family....

The ghost update.

My house ghost has been a bit annoying lately. He/she usually moves the drapes, sends a waft of lilacs about, or allows you to catch a glimpse out of the corner of your eye. All pretty mellow by ghost standards.
But lately, things have gotten a bit annoying. My bedroom door is being knocked on again...loudly. And he/she has now taken to poking at me when I am in bed. At first I thought I was imagining it, but the pokes were very distinct. I was being prodded, and it was bugging the hell out of me.
So after a few days of this nonsense, I said out loud "Just stop it, OK?" My hand was gently patted, and I haven't been bothered since.

United we stand

I have been grossly negligent in my blogging. Life has been busy, but mainly in a good way, and I am all for that.
However, I have also had the misfortune of experiencing loss with my ER family lately, and when loss comes to you door, it does so in a big way.
We in the ER have had 2 of our family lose their spouses within a 4 day period of time. These losses were unexpected, and have left behind grieving wives and children. It has been overwhelming and unimaginable.
So to those who have experienced loss, we are here for you. Together we have resources available to help you. We will stand by you.
