Hi Y'all!!!yes its me not Marvin. No I didn't die just being worked to death =) So much to do and no time:( anyway I went upstairs in my new house to work a little in the upstairs apartment for a bit. Its really odd being up there at night. Dare I say it, "me thinks there is a spirit up there living" Its really weird cause its all my house and I don't feel anything downstairs at all.
I do know that this house could of been built in the 1840's-1860's so its definately old. Now true I don't have anytime to focus on ghostly stuff because of the extreme amount of work I have to do. I will have to get Connie over here before I rent it and see if she feels anything as well. Its an eerie feeling up there and I can only get my most devoted dog up there and she is major on guard. She looks at me with these eyes where I can tell she is very uneasy. Maybe its just negative energy from past tenants. I am not sure. Its all new looking with new walls and ceilings. It could use a little decorating:) the artist in me is coming out again. You should see what I am doing to my ugly downstairs kitchen. I have changed it 100% with little money. I should of took before and after pictures. Living by the tracks is funny cause with four dogs the howling in your ears gets a bit loud everytime a train goes by... But I do like it here and feel I belong her. My old house is not too happy with us being gone. Its giving my brother fits. Its acting up I think on purpose because I doesn't like what he is doing to it. He changed the looks of most of my rooms and painted life size murals of Jesus, Mary, Peter, and an angel. Well we have a lot of creative blood in our family and my brother is the most eccentric. You should of seen his van when he had it painted with sponge bobs, patrick, hey arnold, and powder puff girls. It was awesome! weird but awesome. People were asking him do paint their cars. He does take things to a new level of different but that is my brother. I told him go ahead and express yourself in paint but leave the woodwork alone!!! I can paint over the other stuff if he doesn't stay there. I wonder how much spirit activity he will have now that I am not there. Time will tell.
Well I am off to work again. My thumb is almost healed now. I love cats but I am wary of them now. I don't think I would rush to help one as fast, well maybe with gloves on! I still have a big heart and I can't change that.
Love yah all!
Mary

It's nice to here from you Mary. I'm glad things are going well especially your hand. You had us worried. Bad things can happen from cat bites.
I'm very glad that your feel like you belong in your new house. That's great news. Nothing like being in a new house and not feeling like its home.
I hope things work out with your upstairs. I get the feeling that they will.
I'm sure your new house is going to turn out great with you and Marvin working so dilegently on it. You'll have to take some pictures and show us. =)
Your brother sounds like quite the talented artist. Weird is in the eye of the beholder. None of us are normal are we?
You could try going over and help acclimate the ghosties in your old place to your brother.

Keep up the good work.

Mary, with a house that old, I would almost guarantee it was haunted. Old houses without ghosts are just missing something! The house we are in now was built in the early thirties; but no ghosties, and I sure miss them!
I have a feeling your other house is reacting to the changes. It sounds like your brother is REALLY creative, and all that energy may be reacting to him.
It is good to hear from you! I'm anxious for you to find out more about the house and its unseen tenants!
