<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Well, I am moving the end of March to the Portland/Vancouver area of the American NW.

<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was also informed by my Doctor I was mis-informed by a Doctor here in Phoenix. I have not been in remission with my RA. Well, I knew that my poor bones have just ached so bad and I have eaten too much tylenol. I am back on proper RA meds so now I can get things done. I feel a bit better it is going to take a good month or more for the meds to kick in.</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Happy Valentines, I hope you spend it making you happy, not the card companies. I love handmade cards made just for you. I will be doing laundry. With help because I have only one arm that I can use. I have a severe RA and am trying to get in to a RA doctor here. So the Doctor put me on pain pills. Wish the pills worked. Princess and I will hang out together. I do have a writers meeting in the afternoon which I can't miss. They keep me up and are so encouraging to me. They also crack the whip which is helpful. I love them all dearly so that's like Valentines every week for me.❤</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I wish you love and doing what you love. I love scary movies and books so that will happen too. Mostly I wish for you what you love. Make yourself happy eat what you love and do something you love.❤</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">Happy Valentines to you all. Now go read a good book!❤</span></span><br />

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Once upon blog. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Well, Grab a cuppa put your feet up so we can catch up.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have been very busy getting better. I had surgery in December. I had blurry vision and my allergies were going crazy. Now no blurry vision and allergies a bit better. After allergy testing I was told I am allergic to everything that grows naturally here in Arizona. So I have to choose shots weekly or move. The boss says move up here to Portland area.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">While I healed from surgery I went to Portland for the holidays. It was fun and not really cold. So across the river from Portland is Washington State and I am thinking of it. I would love to live in California but can’t find a place I could afford with a garden for my beautiful Princess. So this year I plan to get healthy and at least one book published. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The book I am working on is Lily Starr and she is an immortal. This is her tale of how she went from a German Princess to an American Rancher. Edits are going slow sorry. Oh yes, there are ghosts and a few other things going on. She has loads of fun friends who are just as interesting as she is and some even bloody thirsty. In the last year I did three nano’s and completed each one with a book. All are Lily’s friends. So now I need to get cracking on edits I know.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So this year I will move yet again and get you Lily Starr to read. Thank you for hanging in here with me. I just need to keep healthy and away from the things that I am allergic too. Maybe my Asthma will go away once the allergies clear up.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I wish you all a wonderful New year along with prosperity and health. I hope I can go on more mini road trips and if lucky meet up with some of you.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 17px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I am reading Stephan Kings Rival and just finished Doctor Sleep so good. I like to read an hour at bedtime to Princess. She seems to enjoy me reading to her. I hope you all got at least one book this past holiday season.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Coffin Hop day 6:</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So onward with our tale, get cozy with your cuppa. You have many blogs to visit today.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They waved and said goodbye and floated off. Myron and I sat on the roof of the house and watched the fire department put out the fire. The firemen got the car out and then saw the creepy twins. They were burned some. The police walked over to them.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Well, what have we got here?” The cop asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Get lost,” They said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, I can’t. You see you had a lot of gas cans and caused a big fire.” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“It wasn’t us, it was our sister Sally,” They both said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Sure,” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The emergency people came to check them out. They bandaged their arms and hands.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Now lets go for a ride,” The cop said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He and a lady cop handcuffed them at the same time. And put them in the police car.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“We need the hospital,” They said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Yeah, yeah as soon as the chief talks to you at the police station.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I walked up to the police car and looked at them. they were talking without words again.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Have fun riding in the police car again,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“We, will be back and get you,” They said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Three police officers heard them say that. They all looked at them hard. I smiled at them and waved and went back up to the roof.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“You two got a whole hell of a lot of trouble coming your way,” The cop said to them.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We watched as they cleaned up the car mess and made sure no fires started. I saw them take the creepy twins to the station. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Myron, thank you for the help. How did you know?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I just had a feeling. Well, off to New York. I will see you in the summer,” he said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I floated to the police station and watched as they put the twins in different cells. Betty started to cry and kept grabbing for Bobby’s hand.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The creepy twins had a long list of trouble that happened by them. Many murders, fires and stolen things. They also had a very creepy lawyer show up the next day. He talked to them quietly.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I will do all the talking, you two just look sad and abused. After all you burned,” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The creepy twins nodded. He gave each of them fresh clothes and toiletries to clean up. They were to be in front of a judge by 11 am.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They sat there holding hands and let the judge and lawyer talk. It was odd what he said to the judge.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Your Honor, these two have suffered so much. First their father abandoned them here with mean grandparents. They sent them off to the state mental hospital where they were not once but many times subjected to electric shocks. They were raped in the hospital and beaten. They came to see their family and had no idea the trunk was full of gas. They borrowed the car from a friend in Santa Fe. If they had known they would never had borrowed the car. They parked it and all of a sudden a wind, which I believe was a tornado, hit. The wind blew over the car and it ignited. They were terrified. Now look at them burned and not taken to a hospital.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I see two adult twins looking like they don’t care,” The Judge said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“On the contrary they do. They are just scared.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“So you two are scared. You should be. You both have a record longer than then my arm. Your lawyer here thinks you abused kids, piffle I know you two. You are ungrateful adults who have acted out for years.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Your Honor…”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I am not done, hush. You are being charged with causing a public nuisance, due to the fact that property was not harmed only your car or who ever the car belongs to. You can pay them for it. You will be released and are never to return to this county got it?” The Judge asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They nodded their heads.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Case closed, get lost and if you’re seen in this county after 2 pm today I will have you put in jail for loitering and contempt of court. Am I understood?”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The creepy twins nodded. They stood up and walked out with their lawyer. He opened his car door for them and they took off out of town. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I read later they had killed the lawyer. Both now in jail for life and it was the late 1960s so they were hanging out in crowed prisons apart. Betty screamed all the time and died two days later. Bobby died a week after that. Cause of death: fright. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As for me I spend my time at the library and the house. Baby and Martin have retired and live in the house. They take trips in their huge RV. Every summer their grandkids visit. Six loud kids all having fun with cousins who visit. They have cookouts and parties all year around. Baby can still see me and we chat. Her eldest daughter sees me and I think her baby does. Hard to say I have only seen the baby once and she was six months old. I noticed I am not here all the time. I float in and out of time. Baby has grey hair now and her grandkids are teens...</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Coffin Hop day 5.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Ready for the tale, got your cuppa and comfy? You have many blogs to visit today.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The creepy twins tried the front door and windows. Baby had gone upstairs to unpack the kids things. I saw that she and Martin had a nice room here. They had added another bathroom too.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I watched them they went to the back of the house. Locked up tight. creepy twins didn’t speak just nodded to each other. Each went to get large rocks in the garden.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, you will go away,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They stopped and looked at me. They were pale and the black coats made them look paler. They looked at each other and said nothing.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I said go. Do you really want trouble?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“You are dead, you ate the poison sandwich,” They said together.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Well, I am dead but I have powers,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They looked at each other and shook their heads. They bent down and were trying to grab large rocks. I took a huge breath and blew as hard as I could.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Stop it,” They said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No,” I said and blew even harder.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">First Betty fell over and then Bobby. I then blew the tree at them. It fell across them hard. Bobby looked at Betty and saw she was crying.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“You hurt her,” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I did and you’re next,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Bobby tired to move the tree. As he did I kept blowing it on him. It finally hit him in the head hard. He was out cold, Betty was staring at me. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I will get you for this,” she said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, I got you two. Go away, never ever come back,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They didn’t answer. Betty helped Bobby up and they walked to the gate to go out front. I knew it wasn’t the end of them. I followed as they got in the car down the street. They drove off for now.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Baby and her family got the tombstone up for Memaw and Pawpaw. the planted rose bushes on both sides of it. Martin had installed a irrigation system for all the plants. The locked up the house and went home.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was alone for the first time in my life. I walked around the house feeling lost. I went to the library to read and watched the train station close up for good. I saw many ghosts walk through the town. It was quiet here now. Most of the people had gone and had to drive to Roswell for things.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This went on for a very long time to me. I saw clothes change and music turn all rock and roll. I roamed the town at night and watched the people.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was fall again and saw them back. The creepy twins, older but still creepy and in the same black car. Myron was standing by me I noticed.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Well, should that car flip over?” Myron asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Maybe, lets see where they go,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We followed and they parked in front of the family house. They opened the trunk and it was full of gas cans.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I think they need to rethink this. They need to be reminded too,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“They do. I say hurricane wind and my friends agree,” Myron said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Standing behind us were so many ghosts. I smiled and nodded.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“On three,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“One, two, three,” Myron said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All at once we all blew hard. The car flipped over on it’s roof. The gas cans all fell out and broke open. The creepy twins were soaked in gas and mad. They tried to flip the car back over. Something sparked and I blew lightly again and fire started. It set them on fire and they ran to the yard to roll. The car blew up, the car parts fell all over the street. Next we heard sirens racing toward us.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“My goodness Sally your brother and sister seem in distress,” Myron said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Sure does. Well, looks like the fire department is coming,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Police too,” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Thank you all so much,” I said to the ghosts.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Good you were there,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Yes, so you’re off and then what?”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Martin and I will honeymoon in Dallas and then off to England for a few years.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Wonderful, please send postcards weekly for Memaw and Pawpaw.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“And you too,” She smiled.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Yes please, have a wonderful life,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Will I see you again?”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I think so. Well, you get going your handsome Martin is waiting.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Bye Sally, I wish I could hug you. Thank you for taking care of me,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I loved every minute of it,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Myron and I watched as Baby and Martin took off in his car. All their friends waved goodbye and threw birdseed. Rice was still to be eaten not thrown here. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Memaw and Pawpaw settled in without her. She was gone a week and the twins showed up Sunday morning while Memaw and Pawpaw were at church. They walked through the house. They went to their old room and looked for something. They ate some of the wedding cake and walked out again.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I got a very bad feeling about that. I went out back to the cemetery and said hello to Mom. I saw roses on her grave and mine too. I looked up and down the street I saw the twins get in a car. It was black like them.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I floated down the street and saw them leave town. They were gone for good I hope. The fall came and then winter. I enjoyed watching the seasons pass by. Myron had gone but said he would be back in the summer.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Four winters later Memaw got the pneumonia and passed away. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Baby and her husband returned for her funeral. Again the twins arrived in town. They stayed close by sitting down the street in a car. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I need to warn you. The twins are back,” I said to Baby.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“What, where are they?” She asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“In a car down the street. They are watching the house,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“OK, nice to see you.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She went downstairs and told Martin that creepy people seemed to be driving around the house. He called the police. The police suggested they move along to another town. They left for now.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pawpaw was around for a long time. I saw Baby return with three kids and Martin. Martin’s parents came over and they had a huge cookout. It looked so fun. The kids seemed to adore Pawpaw and him them.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The next spring Pawpaw joined Memaw. He passed of old age, he lived to be 100. Baby came back with her family to bury him next to Memaw.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I will miss him,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Me too. I am drawing out the tombstone now. So flowers and a heart or the 10 commandments?” She asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“The heart, I know Memaw was very religious but they loved each other more than anything,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Heart it is with roses,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Who are you talking to Mom?” A teenage girl asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Myself. So what are you doing?” She asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Dad said to tell you us kids are going with him to Grandma and Gramps house for a bit.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“OK, Be polite and tell your brothers also to be for me,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I will. Hi you look faded,” She was looking at me.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Hello, I am your Aunt Sally,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Mom you know Sally is standing here with you,” She said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I do indeed, she is my angel,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Cool, later,” She said and walked away.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“She looks like you!” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Yes, and you,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“So will she tell everyone about me?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, she saw you when she was little, many times and I said best not to tell the family. She agreed,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Baby, lock the doors,” I said. I had a bad feeling.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I flew through the walls and saw the creepy twins. They were walking to the house. It was Baby’s house now, I saw the will. Baby did lock up the front of the house and closed the windows. She then locked the back door and closed up the windows. </span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I stayed put mostly in New Mexico. Baby grew up and I next remember seeing her in her room. She was looking at one of my old books.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Baby went back to reading the book. I faded through the wall and saw Memaw cooking. The next time I saw Baby she was working in the train station at the cafe.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Hi, I sure wish I could eat that pie,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I bet, I like this job. You get to see people from all over here. I am going to secretarial school at night too,” Baby said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Good for you. I am very proud of you,” I said. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I watched her graduate from secretarial school. A young man in a military uniform was there. He was an officer in the Air Force. I noticed a ring on her finger, a pretty diamond set in gold. I figured she was alright and no harm could come to her.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I floated to the train station and saw Myron. We walked around town and down the main drag and who did we see.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Creepy twins,” Myron said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I thought they were in the hospital,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We just watched them for a distance and they didn’t see us. I wondered if they could even. They were now in their 20s and looked the same, white hair and pale skin. Both had red marks on the side of their foreheads. They dress alike too, black jackets and white shirts. Betty had a black skirt on and black hose and shoes. Bobby had black pants and shoes on. They held hands and swung them back and forth as they walked. They were headed to my grandparents house.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Myron want to see my family?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I would like that. I see the twins are on the way too,” He said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The creepy twins walked to Memaw and Pawpaw’s street. They stood on the corner there watching the house. They just stood there staring not speaking a word.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“So what do you think they are up to?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Besides no good, I say they want revenge,” Myron said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Can you help me keep an eye on them?” I asked.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Yes, I can.”</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We watched them for days it seemed. I went to the house and saw what was up. Baby was getting married and and Memaw was fitting her gown. Pawpaw was taking care of the roses for her wedding the next day.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Myron, Baby is getting married. I saw her in her gown so pretty,” I said.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“So the twins may want to crash the wedding. I don’t think they were invited,” He said.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Part 2 Dust Bowl</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">So my body headed back to their house. I was worried about Mom. I mean she was expecting and her ankles were swollen, the dark circles under her eyes. So I hopped a ride with them. Pawpaw made quick time of it. I wanted to check on her and those creepy twins. Mom sat there just sobbing and the twins were quiet sitting there staring at her. Every now and again they exchanged looks. I swear they talk without speaking. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">The preacher came the next day and they buried my boy by my Uncle Henry. He was the youngest and had died of scarlet fever when he was ten. He wasn’t here I looked for him. My burial service took five minutes. Micky howled when the preacher was done. Pawpaw planted a rose bush at my feet. I didn’t get a stone for six years.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I stuck around and watched the twins so Mom could rest. Well, that’s how I looked at it. Memaw made sure Mom got rest and ate well. The twins played in the back yard most of the time. They also looked like they were plotting. Well, they always did. Micky mostly stayed near me. It was quiet and Mom needed it.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Mom delivered a baby girl on time. She was blonde and blue eyes and very pretty. Memaw was thrilled and the twins couldn't care less. Micky was happy he had a new person to watch. When everything seemed settled and Mom was on her feet again I took off.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">My first ride was on the bumper of a car. It was a young married couple headed to Santa Fe. I got off and floated down the road. I had places to see. Well, that was the plan.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">My first night I sat and watched the stars and moon. I also saw ghosts float by me. There was a couple dressed like it was the 1880s. They floated past me chatting away. I saw a gun slinger or a want to be one. He was young and a mess. His shirt was blood soaked and his face was scraped up. I saw Indians dressed in beautiful burial outfits too.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I started to float to Flagstaff. I liked the pine trees they smelled so nice and not of dust. I saw prospectors and saloon girl with an axe in her head. Ghosts walking around outside of town and in town not all looking so good. In the morning I saw it was a ghost town. It was full of ghost people. I floated just past Flagstaff and it was empty.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I decided to go on to California and see the ocean. I walked and hit a wall, an invisible wall. I feel back and landed on my bottom but it didn’t hurt. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Hello dear, you can’t go any further. It’s because you can’t go any further than where you have been,” a Saloon lady said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“I can go back but not forward,” I said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Yes, it seems so unfair I know,” The Old Priest said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“How far can you go?” I asked.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Well, I was born in South Carolina and can float all the way there,” The Saloon lady said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“I can go all the way home to Spain. I came out here with the conquistadors. I also can go to Italy,” The Old Priest said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“So I can go back the way I came and back here,” I said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Yes, don’t look so down. You have a nice road and many people pass by,” The Saloon lady said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Thank you,” I said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I started to float back to Memaws. I saw a few other ghosts as well. Some looked like very old and some young. They just floated along. I also saw some very bad things. I saw car wrecks, war dead and old Indians who had been killed. It wasn’t pretty. When I got to Memaws the creepy twins had grown so much and the baby walked. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">The twins looked at me, well, through me. They did their twin chat and walked away. The baby was was talking as well. She asked me who I was. I think she saw me for real. I left and headed home to our house in Oklahoma.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">The dust covered most of the doorway. I didn’t need it but slipped in and saw everything covered in dust. Most of furniture was gone the floor had an inch of dust. Upstairs I saw a mouse, he had died and was dusty small lump on the floor. I looked out the window and saw another dust storm coming in. No one was in town now, everyone had gone.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I saw a few ghosts like me wandering around looking lost. Many had lost their lives in the dust storms, they were covered in dust. I went back out to talk to them.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“Are you from here?” I asked a lady.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“No, I was passing by and a dust storm tossed our car over and over. They died, my whole family in this horrible dust,” She said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“I am sorry. Are your family ghosts like us?” I asked.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“I am not a ghost. I am walking home,” She said.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">I watched her float off into the dust storm. The dust bowl lasted for years. I saw many on the road here at home. I saw small kids who had died from the dust. They inhaled too much of it. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">When I returned to New Mexico Memaw and Pawpaw were burying my mother. The creepy twins were teenagers now. They look so grave and scary. The baby was now school age. </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“I wish your father could have been here,” Pawpaw said to the kids.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'American Typewriter';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">“He is not coming back ever again,” The twins said together.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">The twins turned and walked away. The looked even more creepy than ever. I followed them the down the street. Bobby and Betty walked to the train station and I watched them pick pockets. As travelers passed by they took the wallets of people who couldn’t afford to lose a penny.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">We floated near them and blew. At first their clothes fluttered.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So this is how it all started for me. Sounds good but...</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was 1935 when we all got in the truck and left. It was sad. Dad’s store was closed and Mom was pregnant with a baby. I was fourteen and so tired of dust. My older brothers were so glad we were going. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was a dusty ride in the back of that truck. I sat on a mattress with our dog Micky. The big mattress was on top of truck and gave us shade. My brothers sat in the back with me. I tried to read, it was hard with the dust. The twins Bobby and Betty rode in the truck with Mom and Dad. Mom dressed them alike him as a boy and her the girl version. It was creepy I thought, but they were creepy. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">First stop was at Memaw and PawPaws in eastern New Mexico. I was looking forward to a bath just to get the dust out of my hair. We drove for three days and finally got to their house. It was cooler at their house and the water was clean. Memaw saw me and said “Sugar get in the tub, you look so dusty. I can’t even see your red hair.” It was so nice to soak off the dust and rinse out the tub and fill it again to a nice bubble bath.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My brothers were hosing themselves and Micky off in the back yard. The joked around a bunch. The twins were next for the tub. Mom had her bath last and Memaw said give her quiet now. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Memaw and Pawpaw had made us a huge dinner. It was green chili stew and corn bread. She even made us cake. I didn’t even get a cake on my last birthday because we didn’t have the money to spend. I sleep all night in peace and quiet. No wind howling and no dust. So it was we all got a good nights sleep.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We stayed there for a few days and then the trip was to begin again. Mom and the twins were going to stay in New Mexico until after the baby was born. I was going on to California. I looked at it like well, maybe I could see movie stars and swim in the ocean. It was the only way I could deal with it. I really just wanted to stay at Memaw’s with Micky our dog. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">PawPaw and Dad cleaned the truck up and got as much of the dust anyone could off it. They made the mattresses lie in the back so it was comfy. The one on the top of the truck was tied down so I could ride up on it. One brother sat in the back and sleep on the mattress waiting his turn to drive. The first day went fast and I read a book. Memaw gave me four books to read.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 17px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The second day was overcast so the sun didn’t bother me so much. I took a nap after lunch. We had sandwiches to eat all day. Memaw had packed for us. I sleep through the first stop after lunch and dinner the boys couldn’t wake me up. We were in Arizona just past Flagstaff. </span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had died. I am not sure how I remember watching a dry storm go over the lightning was so neat looking. I just fell asleep up there looking at the high desert. I was sitting there looking at my body. Dad kept shaking me to wake up and he was crying. My brothers were too. It was odd seeing my sixteen and eighteen year old brothers cry. At least I died without dust in my hair or clothes. I also had meals without dust in them too.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Dad walked to the phone box and called Pawpaw. The police came and took my body to the morgue. I stood and watched it all. Pawpaw came the next day with Memaw in his truck. They had a coffin and my body was placed in it. The family was so sad looking. </span></span><br />
