As you’ve noticed I didn’t stick with the photo of the day. I missed one day and before I knew it that one day turned into two weeks. Sighs…. Maybe we will try again next month.

My house is starting to get active again with spirit activity. We always have something going on but it’s usually pretty calm.
A few nights ago I heard the screen door open and slam. This is disconcerting for a few reasons. It latches when it’s shut and Brian has it set so it can’t slam to begin with. It wasn’t windy out either. Our dog “Guess” was outside when it happened. Right after the “slam” she goes into her protective, fierce barking. Very unsettling….she didn’t bark for long which is another indication it was spiritual related not human.

Things that are there one second are missing the next which is getting really annoying. They almost always show up again in a few days and right where we left it. Or in a place so random that you know no one else could have put it there.

Last night the tv in my room was on and I sat down on the bed. The channels started changing so I assumed I was sitting on the remote.  I got up and searched for it only to find it on the other end of the bed. So it wasn’t me changing the channels.

I figure it’s either because of the new roof as construction can bring them out or the fact that I have one teenage daughter and another on the cusp.
The spirits are harmless and as long as they leave us be and don’t scare my kids then I don’t have an issue sharing the space. Though the door thing was unsettling to me.

The robber

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder.

She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: ‘Stop! Acts 2:38!
(Acts 2:38 (ESV) says “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins.”)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: ‘Why did you just stand there?
All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.’

‘Scripture?’ replied the burglar. ‘She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!’

Today’s/ yesterday’s photo of the day is supposed to be something fun.
I thought of several things that are “fun” and settled on bubbles. Who doesn’t like to play with bubbles? Young and old alike.

The girls had a fun time playing with the bubble gun. Yes we did it INSIDE the house.  *shrugs* it’s just bubbles it’s not gonna hurt anything. My house is very child friendly.

I almost forgot to do today’s/yesterday’s photo of the day.
Today we had to choose something we wore today. I choose……

I love love love these sandals!!!! This is my 3rd summer wearing them and yes they are the same pair!

My friend Kathy had blogged about a new pair of sandals she got so many years ago and I fell in love with them. After that I searched and searched the internet for them. I finally found these on sale for a steal and bought them. I was one happy girl!
They are getting a little worn so I suppose it’s time to find a new pair, but I do so love these. They are the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned. My kids are not huge fans of them but they don’t have to wear them. LOL!

Our roof has been in horrible shape for years. As renters it wasn’t up to us when or if it would ever be fixed.
We had been told that the house was so old that they just didn’t want to put any money into it. So once the roof started leaking it would be time to move on.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear that our landlord had hired the Amish to reroof for us. That was until I saw it was a metal roof. It looks horrid! Landlord had both his house, his sons, and ours done. All the houses look awful with the metal roofing.
With that being said I AM very grateful to have a roof over my head and one that won’t be leaking anytime soon.

I was hoping the Amish wouldn’t need to come on to the porch for anything as I have signs all over stating a witch lives here and I didn’t want to freak them out.

Here is the first of several that you see when you come on to my porch.
Well, they did need to come and ask us a question about the antennas that were outdated but still on the roof.
They didn’t flee and run, so I give them credit where credit is due. They had our roof done in half a day though. *giggles*
The Amish are polite, hard working men. They even knocked down the wasps nests for us. They didn’t leave a mess and for putting on a roof they did it quickly and fairly quietly.

I had promised my friend Kathy I would get a pic since she works with metal roofing on a daily basis. So without further ado……….

Yuck, I know. But at least it should be sturdy.
