Disappearing Newspapers

     Today it was my wife's turn to experience a weird occurrance. Today I worked about all day in my workshop next door, so I had nothing to do with what happened. My wife was working in the kitchen on a craft project that necessitated three full fheets of newspaper. She said she got the paper and laid them out on the floor so they'd be easy to get to. She used the first full sheet and reached for the second there was no paper anywhere in sight. Two sheets of newspaper had vanished, no sight, no sound, just gone. Irritated she went back to her source (in the library) and got two more sheets from a pile she has collected for general use with projects. Returning to the kitchen, she laid the one sheet at her feet and proceeded to use the other. Reaching for her last sheet of paper, it wasn't there. Totally unnerved at this point my wife came next door to tell me about the missing papers. I told her to look in the parlour or someplace up stairs for them. Thats usually what occurs when this happens to me. She declined saying the paper could stay whereever it was taken. She then said she was going to go back over and finish the project and then start supper. Half and hour or so I went back over to the house and supper was well underway. The missing sheets of newspaper are still missing. I could find no trace of them anywhere. I suspect they will reappear in some totally absurb place, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month or next year. Thats the way of this house.

Tape recording

     I tried the tape recording. I asked questions and left the recorder run. There was no result. I will try again, but in the green room this time.

Weird occurance today

    A minor thing yet strange nonetheless. I was walking the dogs today at about 4pm and as we were returning to the house I noticed the evening paper on the front stoop. So the dogs and I went over to the front stoop to get the paper. Just as I was picking it up the front door shook like someone was unlocking it to come out. Figuring my wife was coming out to get the paper, I waited. No one appeared and the door did not open. Our front door is extremely heavy, made of local walnut. Wind, which was very light, would not have moved that door. The parlour door is kept closed as are the upstairs bedroom doors that open onto the front hall and staircase so it wasn't suction from some door being opened in another part of the house. My wife, who is suffering from a sprain isn't moving about a whole lot anyway. When I reentered  the house through the side door into the kitchen my wife was standing at the sink. I ask if she had gone through the house for the paper. She assured me that she hadn't left the kitchen. So what made like it was coming through the front door? I haven't figured a logical explaination as yet. If I do I will post it.
