So I was sitting in my office

minding my own business, grabbing a few files to take back to work when all of a sudden my computer starts reading my emails.

"But", I hear you say, "the computer is supposed to read the emails. Silly frog queen."

Not by itself it is not. :)

Seriously, the pointer is running around the screen scrolling and clicking through email .....

......all by itself. 

The motionless mouse glances over as to say "not me queenie, are you thinking what I am thinking?"

Oh sweet! My computer is haunted!

Is that not the coolest thing!? My very own ghost!

A bit creepy granted, but this is going to make the best blog post EVER!

Then I remember that husband installed a remote control program on my system so that he could check our emails on my computer from his computer in the basement.

He was just reading the emails.......Sh*t! 

No ghost.

Sometimes technology ruins all the fun :(

    That wouldn't fly in my house. I would think I was being hacked every time he remoted in.

    I could hear it now, "Honey, please plug the network cable back in to your computer, it was just me."

    Kinda like the organ in The Ghost & Mr. Chicken playing by itself, when really it was Mr. Kelsey playing the tuning keyboard under the pipes.

    A fine Hallowe'en moment for you (and your mouse!).

Happy National Donut Day from the Davis Graveyard

Image
Harold the Gravedigger squinted through the pre-dawn mist. A low, guttural groan echoed through the Davis Graveyard, sending a shiver down his spine. Not the usual mournful sighs of the restless dead, no. This was a sound more…sugary. More…sprinkled. Harold gripped his shovel tighter. The rumors had begun a week ago – whispers of a giant, sentient donut rolling through the cemetery at night, leaving a trail of sticky frosting and disembodied sprinkles in its wake. Tonight, he'd finally catch the culprit red-handed (or, should he say, red-glazed?). As the groan grew louder, a monstrous shape lumbered out of the fog. It was a donut, alright, but colossal. Its glazed surface shimmered under the moonlight, studded with malevolent chocolate chips and a single, menacing gumball eye. A chorus of disembodied moans rose from the disturbed graves as the donut flattened several headstones with an indifferent squish. Harold, adrenaline coursing through him, charged. "Hey, sprinkle-brained...

Going to the Chapel

Image
...and we're gonna get..... no life during the summer. :) (We are almost done with the Chapel, in fact, if all goes well, most of it goes up tonight. But I have not been documenting it here.  So I am going to retrospectively show you through the chapel build.) After a few years of planning, we finally decided to sell the abbey and build a chapel. The plan is that this will be easier to put together than the abbey has been.  The abbey took an entire weekend, a scissor lift and an army of people to set up.  This new chapel should go up in a few hours. This is the SketchUp plan. Front view from SketchUP Here is the real chapel that we modeled it after. Ardgowan Chapel in Scotland Yeah, we decided to phone it in this year :D

Match Columns

When we decided to put our display up at Clackamas County 'Scare'grounds this October, we knew if we wanted to take the demons and the metal Cemetery sign from our columns, we would need to make columns to match the real ones on our driveway. We had to use a full wood frame to make this as heavy as possible because the metal frame that goes over the arch it has some weight and we did not want it to topple forward.  There is a lip of wood at the top that is not foam covered, that is where the demons will slide down onto, similar to our current set up. We drew out the grout lines for 4x6 bricks (average size) with a T-square to keep square, then used a Dremel trio on the pink foam.  We used our Demand Durarasp and a wire brush to make the grain. We use PL glue to glue the sheets to the boards and used wood blocks and strips screw into the wood at the grout lines to hold the glue for 24 hours to set. We needed to add an extra layer of bricks (to match our fence) that we just glue...
