I was very young when I saw my first ghost. I didn't actually see her, but the rocking chair she sat in moving. When I stayed at my grandparents' I slept in my Uncles' old bedroom. At the foot of the bed was a rocking chair. I often woke up to see it rocking. I know now that it was a lady because my Uncles saw her.

I've only had one ghost get a little too friendly. When I moved out of that house he didn't follow me.

I also have one, who does follow me and sometimes shows up in my dreams.

Perhaps you should have something with your tea, a shot of whisky maybe...

Cool.

I only have 1 permanent ghost, and I'd love to get rid of him. He's the only one who I see/experience repeatedly and one of a small handful who freak me out.

Thank you MightyMoe. :) Being haunted doesn't bother me. It only did when I was very young and didn't understand it.

Near where I grew up is a Thunderbird Nest. It is a very sacred area to my forefathers. It is hard to explain but, when you visit this place you can feel that it is a sacred space.
Do I believe in Thunderbirds? Yes. Why? I just do.

I have seen many. I am an empath. They come to me. For years I thought I was just unlucky enough to always find haunted places to live. Then I discovered that the houses weren't haunted, I was.

Just last week I had several visits from long gone pets. Cats, to be exact. I felt them jump on my bed, walk around a bit and leave.

Ghosts don't always scare me. Kind of depends on them. I'm still learning how to control my gift.

That's entirely possible. They are attracted to me, because I can see/hear them.

Thanks Hun.

Yummy!

Somebody has to do it. It doesn't do itself.

He offers her a piece of cheese. She opens her mouth and he places the morsel between her luscious moist lips. They feed each other succulent pieces of their meal. He stares intently into her eyes. She blushes and turns away, but only for a moment. Holding his stare she offers him a single ripe juicy raspberry. He takes her hand to steady it while he takes the fragile fruit from her fingers. Breaking the stare he looks down at her hand and slowly licks the single drop of raspberry juice from her finger. He turns her hand over and kisses her palm, softly, slowly and ever so gently. Suddenly she is feeling quite warm. She can't take her eyes off him. When he looks into he eyes they are no long cool pools of emerald. They are burning with desire.

They eat at a leisurely pace, with long moments of comfortable silence. Its like they have known each other all their lives. She enjoys his company and loves his sense of humour. He loves the way she makes him feel like he is the only other person on Earth.

Sadly household chores wait for no person. Especially if it's laundry.

When they reached the clearing she was awed by the view. She had been to the park many times and didn't know the lake was there. For awhile the sat on a huge slab of granite, fingers entwined, taking and watching the clouds float by. She asks if he is getting hungry and they set out the blanket and open the basket. Setting out plates of food and dishes. He opens the wine and pours them each a glass.

It's early autumn. The day is balmy. The trail is spectacular. It's as if Mother Nature is showing off, just for them. Even the birds were serenading them as the walked along. They took their time. No need to rush. He stopped suddenly and pointed out a deer that had not heard them yet. While watching the deer he takes her hand in his. She steps closer. Oops. She stepped on a twig and startled the deer. They continue on their way.

Got your snack ready?

Laundry needs to be switched over.

But oh, so much fun!

He knew just which trail they would hike. Not too long and seldom used. About half way there was a little clearing with a gorgeous view of the lake. It was also the perfect spot for a nice romantic picnic.

They had gone out a few times before. Today was different they were going hiking at a local park. He was picking her up shortly. She had packed a nice light lunch; crisp green salad, baked honey ham, creamy cheese and crackers, fresh juicy fruit, and a nice bottle of white wine.
