All About MEme Monday: prompt- Tales from the Darkside ( hissss)

Time for MEme Monday with Supah and MommyBrain!

This week were going to our dark side and bringing back a scary tale. Make sure you go check these ladies out!!

The following is a TRUE TRUE TRUE story...I lived it.

***I copy pasted from my old blog and it is not reader friendly..I am tired...sick...  lazy

so please highlight it so you can read it. :) Thank you!!***

 I grew up with a mother who loved scaring people. We would go looking for boogers...crazy! I can recall many instances where strange unexplained things have happened. I have seen things that have no explanation. A number of these things have happened at the Old Hudson Place.

The Hudson Place is now only a cemetery but you can still see where the old plantation use to be. The story I've always heard was I think in the late 60's or 70's some boy scouts (?) burned the old house down. I don't know if it was on purpose or accident. I can remember going out there when I was maybe 7 or so and seeing and hearing things that have stuck in my head all these years. But my story tonight happened when I was around 15 and it's like a video I can play back any time...

It was around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and my mom and then boyfriend (my girls dad) wanted to go out to do some target practice. Well mama wanted to go to the Hudson Place, it's out in the country with no people living any where near it. They shot the gun for awhile then we walked around in the cemetery for a little bit. I had been in that cemetery and seen the headstones a hundred times but it was always fascinating to go back and do it again.

Right before dark mama said we needed to go cause she didn't wanna be out there after dark. We loaded up, it was Me, Jim, mama and my brothers and i think my sister in mama's Volkswagen rabbit. We get on the main highway and mama goes to get a cigarette, they are no where to be found. She remembers her cigarette were on top of the car and we must have drove off and left them up there. So we had to backtrack and look for these cigarettes. Remember it's almost dark...

They aren't on the highway, that would be asking to much. So we turn down Hudson Rd...little bitty skinny dirt, not gravel road. Mama starts driving slowly down the road and lo and behold there's her cigs. I'm thinking GREAT! we can go home. No...she wants her lighter also. So we drive to the cemetery and turn around and it's dark by now. Nothing spectacular happened and we didn't find the lighter...we go home.

We get home and our neighbor comes over, they get to having a few beers and talking about being at the Hudson place and the next thing I know is my mom saying come on kids were going to go look for my lighter. WHAT!? Beer makes people very brave....or crazy-

We all get in the little bitty car and head back to this haunted place again...now it's around 10pm or later. My moms lighter was a black bic, we are not going to find this black bic at 10pm! ...but we look. Were going real slow down this dirt road and get almost to the cemetery.*I'm scaring myself telling this!* Well something...somethingS that is because there was more than one, walked...no floated across the road in front of us! I know this sounds like every other "ghost" sighting but dang it I SAW THEM! My mama puts that lil rabbit in reverse and backs down that dirt road at a high rate of speed. Me? I'm in the back with my head under the blanket I thought to bring. I figure if I can't see them they can't see me! My mamas a good driver, we made it out of there in record time and I haven't been back after dark since then!

We never found the lighter but I slept with my mom that night...well alot cause my dad drove cross country and I just slept with her ...anyway back to the story! The next morning I woke up and on my moms pillow was her black lighter..... I know for a fact no one found it that night. All we found was a half empty pack of PallMall gold...UGH! So with all my heart I think something followed us home and gave the lighter back.

Ya'll think I'm crazy...doncha?

This is just one of many experiences I personally had at that place. The others were when I was younger and the first one I didn't even know it was suppose to be haunted. Have you ever seen a ghost? Do you believe in ghost? What are they? I find it hard to believe they are our loved ones that have gone on before us. Well the ones who went to heaven anyway...why would you wanna come back here after going there?

ALL About MEme Monday: 10/12 Friends Edition: The kindest thing a friend ever did for me

Once again it is time for All About MEme Monday!

7. re-live a friend moment from childhood.

Since I'm like the ONLY person in blogland that has never watched friends that makes my choices smaller...I choose 5.

I have a friend that helped me once and I do not even know what that friends name is...I actually probably do know them cause I think they are from my church but no one has ever admitted it was them who helped.

In December of 2004 I was newly separated,getting a divorce and broke,I mean really broke. I was living in a mobile home that needed the pipes wrapped under it. I have a distant cousin who said for $20 he would get under there and wrap them.  So I ran home between jobs to give my mom the money to pay him when he showed up. It was a few bills and the rest was change. It was ALL THE MONEY I HAD! But I knew I'd be in trouble if I had a pipe bust and it was freezing already. 

When I was leaving my moms I stopped at the mailbox and there was a little envelope,kinda like what you would get in your valentine box you made for grade school. It had my name on it and nothing in the returen address part. I opened it and it had 2 $20 bills in it. FORTY $$$$$!!!! That was such a blessing to me, you have no ideal! The twenties were wrapped up in a small piece of paper that had "we love you" wrote in red crayon. I cried so hard I was late for work cause I had to go tell my mom. I'm teary eyed now thinking about it. I still haven't a clue who sent it but God does and one day I hope to be able to tell them thank you and how much that meant to me. 

So that's the nicest thing a friend has done for me.

MEme Monday

I'm once again participating in MEme Monday! 

You should go check it out at SupahMOmmys or MommyBrains

Today our MEme is all about-

FIVE "breathtaking" white LIES YOU'VE TOLD.

( Ode to Seinfeld Episode) 

 

 

 

 

 

I like to think I do not lie....but it doesn't always work. so here are the ones I can think of.

 

 

1. When I see some proud mama,g'mama,aunt....whatever. and they are holding an UGLY 

baby. (Don't look like that,you know there are some UGLY babies out there.) I can not say "what a pretty baby...I don't wanna lie. So in stead I comment on their hair oe their outfit. Like..." LOOK at all that hair! WOW!" or "That has got to be the cutest lil dress."

So I'm not actually lying...unless the baby has no hair or it's outfit is UGLY too.

 

 

 

2. I have this lady I work for...she is like 162 years old and I really do care about her. That is no white lie...really. Cause if I didn't care for her I would not be workking at her house. It is bad! She tells me I know I'm lazy. I have days when I'm suppose to go there and I will find something to do and go somewhere else...like home. I was suppose to do her house last Wed. and didn't. I told her Thurs. and didn't...she is so sweet and I now feel awful cause I make up things to tell her so I don't have to do her house. I'm suppose to go tomorrow....Lord give me strength.

3. Bums.

I HATE getting out of my car and having someone who probably makes more $$$ than me asking for "change" to get something to eat. I tell them "I'm sorry I NEVER carry cash on me." I told one guy (cause he really looked hungry) I would go get him aburger if he would wait right here...he told me nevermind. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought he was hungry!

Anyway..If you see me and want some change...I am going to lie to you and hope yur not one of God's angels.

4. Messenger,FB chat, Multiply chat...whatever chat I am always off line... as far as people can see anyway. I have had people start talking to me and totally ignore them acting like I don't see it. I just don't care for chatting to much.

Just so ya know I don't ALWAYS do this...just sometimes.

5. Like Supah...I use to lie to my kids when they were little. 

-The little pony at the supermarket that eats quarters? He was broke ALL THE TIME> I would wait in car til a kid got off of it so the girls wouldn't know.

- Those balloons that some stores give kids? They would mysteriously come untied oncve we were outside and float away. I hated them in the car...one more thing to fight over.

-Little quarter machines at the doors of stores witht he little toys that you step on and it HURTS!... broke all the time. 

#1 that they will always remnember is the phrase- "we'll see" We would never see. That was a no plain and simple but they fell for it for a long long time. After they got older they would tell me mama that means no.

Ok that's all I got! I'm going to try to go visit!

 

 

 

 

MEme Monday

I'm joining Supahmommy and Mommybrain in the ALL ABOUT Meme Monday. This Monday we're talking about -

FIve Fashion MEmestakes (mistakes)

I hope to never. make. again.

I have the song Lets get physical in brain thanks to these 2 mommies! 

1. Members only jackets. I didn't have one but my boyfriend then husband did and he was so cool to me. His was silvery gray. I look back at it now and it was SO NOT COOL.

2. Jeans...TIGHT jeans folded at the bottom and then rolled so they would stay tight. This was a ridiculous look that my brother wore too far into the 90's. (hoping he doesn't read my blog)  Normally I would have on my high top LA Gear tennis shoes with the 2 velcro straps at the top while wearing the tight rolled jeans back in the day.

3. Ponytails on the side..and high ones at that. *enuff said* 

4. stirrup pants- Why? My daughter called me last week cause she was at the mall and came across a pair of stirrup pants...in 2009! She called cause she found it funny. Not only did I dress like that I dressed my kids like that too. *hangs head in shame*

5. Leg-warmers. Remember those? You usually wore them with the stirrup pants.

...and that's why I keep singing Lets get physical!

So get typing and go see all the fashion boohoos with Mr. Linky at Supahs!


This new editor has confused me...forgive the mess.
....or not.
