Not an ordinary day at the lake...

My husband and I decided to go out for a day out to silver lakes.It was a wonderful day sunny but not too warm. We packed up our fishing poles and picnic basket and our family dog and ventured out for the day. When we arrived we paid our entrance fee to the park and drove out a little to find an area that was a little out the ways.We finally found a place an parked. There was another truck also parked there near us about three car car length's away and there was a man asleep sitting inside. I had just finished my can soda and decided to place it outside the car since there was no trash can near bye. We unloaded our stuff and ventured out to the lake.At the end of the day when it was time to go home we packed up and walked back to our truck. It was near evening time. When we got back to the truck we noticed that the same truck was still there. That didn't seem too odd what seemed really odd was the fact that the man sitting in it was in the same position as he was earlier this morning.We kind of laughed it off and mentioned "I hope he's not dead" yeah right,I commented. My husband asked me Why don't you walk over and knock on his window to see if he's o.k?I said "no" why don't you?We eventually  decided to notify the park ranger. The Park ranger went to see about the matter.  20 minutes later he came back to let us know that the situation ended up being a suicide.  The man shot himself with a revolver in the head and died instantly.So what ended up being a trip to the lake was also a last day of someones life.

The good old days... Part 1 Somewhere in time...

I don't know how many times I've heard this expression by grandma, by my mother, you know you hear it plenty old times by the elderly.

But really stop and think about it, Were the good old days really good?

First of all don't get me wrong Ive always felt like I was never from this time. I have a love for anything vintage. I love old cars. I love old furniture antiques, even old wine. I love the old music. And I adore the old classics movie related.

So when I see these old movies I wish why wasn't from a different time? Everything seemed more honest, more simple, and the romance when courting, and opening a door for a woman or carrying a girls books to class, or dueling pistols for their love seemed more desirable.
And if a man wanted to date you or marry he would approach the girls father and asked permission first.
There wasn't too much unwanted pregnancies and if so everything was hush, hush. And you didn't hear of many divorces.

And the fashion of the women back then was so beautiful. The women actually wore their hair more feminine. up in combs, braids or twists.
And women wore these beautiful gowns or dresses, you knew when a woman was a female and the men were the male.

And the men seemed like gentlemen the way they dressed in the movies like Carry Grant they were so manly and handsome, you just don"t see that anymore...

Everything was so much fresher I hear the food even tasted better not with all these pesticides sprayed on them. Women baked everything from scratch. Remember grandmas fresh baked bread?
I don't think there was much pollution either.

What really fascinated me was there less crime? So I've been told you could even leave your doors and windows open or unlocked. No one would break in and rape or rob you.
And children didn't know how it was to be spoiled, imagine that perfect children. We could spank our children in public and never have the fear of a cop arresting you for abuse. I guess there was no such thing as child protection. Oh yes even the teachers were allowed to reprimand them.
I bet they got away with a Lott of things, remember that movie Jane Eire?

And let's not forget one of my old time movies"somewhere in time" the movie was about a love story that really took you back in time. Christopher Reeve had to even die to go back in time to be with his love... But I will discuss that in part 2.....

young girl in the Doctors office

Today i had to go to a doctors appointment and while i was in the waiting room there was a young girl maybe in her late teen years and she was speaking with her mother who was sitting next to her. And what she said next really caught my attention she spoke of an incident that happened inside her home she mentioned some wine bottles that flew off the counter in her kitchen
that had flew off the counter all by themselves and then mentioning that she was texting it to her friend wondering if her house was haunted. I wondered how many people out there have this same problem? And is the paranormal the new black?
