- A ghost story

When I was a young mother and my husband would go out of town, I would pack up my girls and head to grandmas for a sleepover. I slept in my old room which had now become an office/guest room. The girls camped out in my sister's old room. Now growing up in this 2-story track home, my bedroom was at the top of the stairs and right next to the crawl space to the first floor roof. I was pretty convinced that I would be the first to be murdered or kidnapped because, well let's face it I was right there for the picking and no one else in the house would hear the intruder. Did I mention that we had a second story balcony that anyone could climb in my window at night and not be heard or seen either. Many a night I would lie awake listening to the noises, I swore that someone was coming up the stairs or was under my window, ok I was totally freaked out most of the time. I would always try to get to sleep before my parents went to bed. Now I have set the stage, back to the sleepover. I had tucked the girls in to bed and was settling in myself. The house was quiet and everyone had gone to bed. I heard the door open, I raised up and said, "Heather what do you need Honey?" All I could see was her silhouette,her long hair around her face and her nightgown, the night light in the hall way shined behind her. She didn't say a thing and slowy closed the door and left. I laid back down and then realized there was no way that what I saw was Heather standing there she was only 4 years old and what I saw was standing taller than the file cabinet. I didn't feel scared, it was very calm and quiet in my head, I got up to check on the girls, they were snoozing away. I climbed back into bed and slept very peacfully that night. Ghost? Spirit Guide? Inturder? You decide.

Water anyone?
Swimmers during learn to swim week, at a suburban swimming pool, probably Wellington region, ca 1939
My Grandparents managed an apartment complex for years, it was in the early 60's My grandmother, affectionately known as "Bah" and my grandpa aka "Daddal" had me over almost every weekend from the get go. I am not sure how old I was somewhere between just walking and not yet talking, we were out by the pool, me with my pixie do and striped bathing suit(there are pictures fo me just before I went "swimming"). Lots of neighbors and friends, it was a warm summers day. Now Daddal, he was quite the swimmer, he was always showing off to all the ladies in the complex. I watched him dive into the pool and I decided to follow. I remember looking up through the water while people were running back and forth at the edge of the pool. Under the water it was quite peaceful there, I couldn't here the chaos that was happening above. The next thing I remember is lots of bubbles and there I was safe in Daddal's arms, he was smiling at me and talking to me, although I don't remember what he was saying. My mother and Bah snatchded me up and wrapped me in a towel and I remmember lots of hugs after that. I don't think I was fazed at all by the whole incident, I just wanted to swim with my Daddal and had no idea the scope of what had just happened.

Like most kids under the age of 16, you would love to have a little extra pocket change for finer things in life, like a milkshake, a 45 record…

- Making out at Robertson Jr High School Fremont CA

1972
Well, I really liked this boy John, he was tall, dark and handsome. I will always remembered how he smelled of clean freshly pressed shirts, you knew his mom took great care of his clothes. It was a the dance, one of the few in Jr. High that I actually danced. My father was waiting for me in the loop, John and I were saying our good-nights when he planted a kiss on me and it completely freaked me out, there was much more than just lip action. To be honest I really didn't know what the heck was going on. I don't think I kissed another boy again till I was a Sophomore in high school. No, It wasn't John.
