Poltergeist

My husband and I took a drive today...trying to kill some time before our orientation meeting at the Children's Development Center (they have drop-off rates of $3 hour!!)...and we passed a neighborhood in base housing that has an interesting background...
When the American forces took back Guam from Japanese control in WWII the Americans bombed the island in the process. After we took control there were thousands of dead Japanese soldiers scattered from the explosions. Clean up duty consisted of making use of all of the bomb induced craters and burying the soldiers in them. Years later, the Japanese asked for the bodies of these soldiers in order to lay them to rest properly back in Japan. Well, when the mass graves were dug up...only about 1/4 of the bodies were ever found. It is thought, that there is a great possibility that this particular neighborhood is built over some of the mass graves yet to be found. So, if I see any zombie Japanese soldiers that look a little lost this Halloween...I'll know where to send them.

Today was a wonderful day for the Gerloff family, as we are finally complete again!! We picked up our dog and cat, Sammy and Frank from the quarantine facilities today. They flew in last night, were checked out by the vet this afternoon, and were safely being snuggled in our arms and/or being chased around the room by Nicholas by this evening. It's wonderful to have them here with us, finally! It was the last big piece of the moving across the world puzzle.

Now, it's time for me to curl up with my book and my pup, and go to dream land....not a bad ending to a Friday 13th....unless some of those zombies show up in the middle of the night...
