Our foggy drive

Scott and I took a mountain drive today in our new car. It was very rainy and cold but it made for a very beautiful foggy drive.



















That is the fog from Silverthorne to Idaho Springs. It was so eerie but so cool at the same time! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

D-Day

They dropped from the air,
They landed bombs on the enemy,
They stormed the beaches
And endured a great battle.
Thousands of men
So many lost.
Bullets blazed past them,
The beaches had barbed obstacles
But the brave men pushed on.
As they parachuted from the clouds
And crawled out of the sea,
The enemy fought hard
Just not hard enough.
Memorials in Europe and America
Commemorate the day that ended it all
And the lives lost in battle.
The Allies prevailed,
The Axis fell,
Many never returned
The hearts of mothers were broken
But our world changed forever
And rose from the ash,
Thanks to brave men
And the ones who never came back.

The Laughing Baby

There is nothing like the sweet laughter of a baby. It warms the heart and makes everyone you feel hopeful for the future. At least it is sweet when it isn't 1 am and you live completely alone. I inherited the family farm and I have help during the day but I am only 18, I don't have any other family. When I first heard the cries coming from the back room I ignored it. I thought it was just my imagination or the animals that I was just mishearing. Then I heard it again at 1 am. I decided to check it out and sat in the room it came from. I could hear the laughter but there was nothing there. The noise was coming from the closet. I wandered over to the closet to see why there was a baby crying. Maybe someone left a baby in my closet, I hope at least anything else seems terrifying. I opened the closet door and to my horror was the skeleton of a baby wrapped in a blanket.

“My baby! You killed my baby!” screamed a voice from behind me.

I turned around to see a woman. I live alone! What the hell is going on? Why is she telling me I killed her baby? I tried to explain that I found the baby like that but it didn't even seem like she was looking at me. She charged at me but went straight through me towards a man that now appeared behind me. There was a crash and a bang then a blood curdling scream. The man had stabbed the woman. I was in shock. The man looked at me and screamed then everything disappeared. The same thing happened the next night.

One day, after many weeks of owning the property, I found an old box in the basement. It was filled with family photos. I began to hand them on the walls, they are my family after all. That is when I saw the man and the woman he killed with their baby. It was from 100 years ago. I learned my family bought the property after the murder suicide of the pictured family. That night I decided to end it all. I found the baby bones and before the woman could get upset I took the baby outside and buried it. After that the fighting stopped but every now and then I still hear a baby laughing but this time it comes from the back yard. I guess the baby never really wanted to leave.
