How about everyone chip in for a whole new story

Decided today I need to get to advertising what we are going to do here at this house.  I got on facebook, myspace, all the breast cancer sites and put ads in alll major newspapers.  Filled the house with groceries and am ready for the first woman or family to arrive. I will walk the beach and look for shells and sea glass until I have some friends here with me.  We need to hire a massage therapist and a nanny for the children if we have any.  Still some things to be worked out.

Spar is so excited that patoo is coming to the retreat, she will get the royal treatment.  Today I had to laugh at myself, I have been so excited about the ghost that my imagination is beginning to play tricks on me.  I had ran to the drug store and came back and was fixing to insert the key in the lock when the door opened and I thought, wow we have polite ghost here and I walked in the door but once inside I saw it was the housekeeper, she had seen me coming and opened the door.

When patoo gets here I am hoping we can go for a long walk on the beach and have a nice long talk.

There is also a huge library here with more books in one place than I have ever seen.

I am hopeing Madam Estepp will come to be our massage therapist and fix our hair, it is a well paying job and one she is good at and would enjoy.

Maybe MissCandy would like to be hired for the daycare, she is so wonderful with children.

Hopefully tomorrow.............................

wow jondy, welcome.  There is a suite prepared for you. I wonder if one of those keys would open the huge old trunk I found in the attic?  Can't wait for you to arrive, we will walk the beaches and have a good talk.  I am very interested in your ancestors secrets.  Now I understand why the poor dog wolf haunts the grounds, he is still waiting on your great grandfather, I wonder if you as his relative will be able to put him to rest?  It should be very interesting.

I went for a walk waiting on jondy and patoo to arrive, didn't see anything strange on this walk.  When I got back the housekeeper said patoo had called and she has been through sunshine, rain, and snow but she will be here.

The housekeeper also said a really strange woman stopped by wearing a pink helmet and wanted to know where you were.  I started screaming thats MissS, where is she, but the housekeeper didn't know.  She just left and said she might be back.

Today, thought I would explore the house more, found two doors that are locked and no one had the key.  My curiosity is driving me nuts.  There is one closet that a breeze blows under the door, a very strong breeze and I haven't opened it, scared of what is in there causing it.  Will save that when I am not alone.  I am ready for people to get here.

Decided to take a walk down the bluff to the beach, it is a cloudy, foggy, gloomy day and I finally saw the dog but since jondy had told me the story I wasn't too scared but he was a fierce looking creature.  His eyes glowed red, I tried to get close and talk to him but he just acted like he didn't know I was there, am hoping jondy will have better success at calming him since she is a relative of his owner.

When I got back to the house I had a note from jondy.  Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE IS HERE.  I told the chef to fix us some snacks and hot chocolate to have in front of the fireplace for when she returned from her walk.  I am so excited to meet her.  I looked in the mirror in the hall and fixed my blondish gray hair and checked to make sure my blue eyes were not bloodshot or makeup smeared, freshened up my lipstick so she wouldn't think I was unkept.  Sat back down on the loveseat.  I was so nervous for some reason waiting to meet jondy..................

jondy and spar stayed up half the night chatting, a few weird things happened like the lights going on and off a few times, once the pot of hot chocolate refilled our cups on its own.  That was really weird.  We still don't know when to expect Harley and Patoo but hope they arrive soon.  We went and looked at the vintage clothing and are trying to decide which we want to wear in the time machine.  Jondy had a key to the other old trunk and when we opened it, it was full of jewelry.  Some of it looked like cleopatra stuff, like snake braclets that fit up your arm, there were crowns of different kind of stones.  They were beautiful but we didn't try any on because just touching it burned our skin.  We wondered if it went with the clothing.  We talked a lot about being scared but knew soon we would get up the courage to try.  Tonight will be jondy's first night to sleep here, hope the ghost don't bother her too much

Oh good Harley will be here today.  Spar had to tell jondy that the housekeepers had not been in her room so she had some ghostly visitors during the night.  Spar heard the woman crying too, loud enough that she got out of bed and went down the hall trying to find it but soon as she got too the end of the hall it stopped.  I was hoping it hadn't interrupted jondys sleep but that was not to be.

This morning we are sitting around the kitchen table waiting on Harley to arrive.  We were thinking maybe two of us could put on the old clothing and jewels and step in the machine while one watches and trys to get us back if we aren't back in about 2 hours.  Wouldn't that be something if we could travel and control it so we wouldn't be scared.

We got a call from Patoo and she is still pedaling and will be here as soon as she can and she has lost 10 pounds from all that pedaling.

We enjoyed our coffee and coffee cake the chef had made for us, we also had a bowl of mixed fruit.  We felt like rich folks and so far nothing in the house has tried to hurt us, just annoy us a little.  Sure hope jondy can help the dog wolf.

Harley, Spar, and Jondy heard the dog wolf, they decided to go see if Jondy could bring him to peace.  He acted like he didn't even see me or Harley but followed Jondy to the old sailors graveyard.  She said a prayer for her great grandpa to reconnect and help dog wolf have peace and I swear we all were shocked.  The dog wolf raised hisself in the air, howled, and looked like he smiled and disappeared.  I think he is at peace now and also a whitish cloud of fog came to him.  We think it was Jondy's great grandpa.  Spar said, "wow, how cool was that".  Harley said she was still a "little creeped out"  We went back to the house and told Jondy stories about the spa Harley and Spar use to be part owners of.  Jondy told us about growing up in this old wonderful house.  We decided to get a good nights sleep because tomorrow was going to be the day we tried on the vintage clothing and tried the time machine.  Spar was nervous, Harley scared, she said she will probably stand watch.  Jondy is excited.  Goodnight.  Hope Patoo makes it soon.

Spar decided to brave the machine on her own and asked Harley to please stay around in case of emergency.  I slowly went down the stairs, wiping cobwebs away as I went.  Picked out a victorian gown with shaking hands and picked out a necklace, ring, and a pair of earrings.  My hands were shaking so bad I could barely get the necklace fastened.  I got everthing on and stepped into the machine, took a deep breath and pushed the button.  Bam, it was like rushing down a laundry shoot from the second floor to the basement.  I landed with a thud, got up brushed myself off and looked around.  Wow, the streets are dirt, there is a small frontier town with horses tied up at post, a couple of buggies being pulled by horses.  My heart was pounding and I was scared.  I decided to walk the wooden plank sidewalk and see if anyone knew me.  The men tipped their hats at me and said goodmorning.  I went into a general store that had everything from penny candy, cloth, to farm tools.  There were no dresses,  I guess everyone had to sew their own clothes.  I was feeling a little calmer and started listening to people talk about the gold rush and Indian attacks, settlers coming in from the east.  I started getting hungry and didn't have any money.  I ask the man at the general store if he could buy my ring since I had ran out of money and needed some food and a place to sleep, he gave me a drawstring bag of gold nuggets.  I said thank you but I had no idea how to spend a gold nugget.  I found a cafe and ordered the house special which ended up being a buffalo steak and biscuts and gravey.  I ask about a boarding house or a room and was told their was a Mrs. Smith at the end of the road that rents out rooms by the night or week.  I though no way am I staying a week.  I was ready to go home and getting extremely nervous about how to get back.........
