Just a note

     When you get to the bottom of this page, go to "Link to this entry". This will bring up the bottom page again but now you will see where you can go back into earlier entries. There are many more past entries. The counter on this site, for whatever reason, started all over again at number 1000. The count should read 1055 at this point. The tape recorder is still missing; though nothing new has occurred recently.                                     

Glass Unicorn

     In our library are two small oval topped windows. Many years ago, when we were first in this house, my wife took 4 claer glass animals that we had moved here with abd placed them on the mid-sash of the window. As the window is never opened, they sat there for all of these years gathering dust. The reason they were gathering dust is because shortly after they were placed on the sash, a large chest was moved under the window followed by a rather large chair and telephone table. So no one has bothered to climb over things to clean this glass managerie. Today, I found the Unicorn lying on its side on top of the chest. This came as quite a surprise to me, as it showed no damage, though if it fell it would have fallen better than four feet onto the hard surface of the chest. If it had fallen, I would think it would have landed at the foot of where it was located on the window. Instead it was a couple of feet to the right of where it should have landed. The unicorn figure has a wide base and the base has most of the weight. The sash is wide and the unicorn had plenty of room to sit solidly. I cleaned the unicorn and manuvering carefully replaced it where it had been. None of the other figures appeared to have shifted in the lest. Interesting.

Tape Recorder disappears

     The tape recorder disappeared. Its been gone for a week or more. I had set it up again in the alcove at the turn of the front stairs. It had been there several days before I thought to retrive it but it wasn't there. Thinking maybe I had actually set it up someplace else, I have searched the entire house. My wife hasn't seen it. My dog is rarely in that part of the house. Theres been no one else here in the past two weeks or so. This isn't the first thing to disappear here; but normally the things reappear in plain sight, just in some obscure area that wouldn't be logical. I've searched the obscure areas too. I can only think of two things, besides the recorder, that haven't reappeared. Several; years ago an address book disappeared for a long time, like probably better than a year; then suddenly reappeared in the middle of the floor in the front hall. It disappeared again three or four years ago and hasn't reappeared. We had a three pound roast disappear from the refrigerator, it never reappeared (thank goodness); and now the tape recorder. I guess if I plan on further investigation here I'm going to have to purchase another one.
