Hello everyone,

I won`t say it I promise....okay I will......it`s Thursday again!  Well it is isn`t it?  I haven`t got my days mixed up for a while!  I`ve been quite busy on the internet this afternoon.  After reading all the journal alerts earlier, yes ALL.... !  I`ve been looking through some of my ghosts, myths and legends file and I`ve come up with a short tale.  I`ve also been looking into other ideas that I have for entries at a later date,  and hopefully some of these will come to fruition.

I`d like to tell those of you that don`t now about the JOURNAL TOURNAMENT that is being organised by Kellen.  It comprises of several tasks, mainly in the form of very interesting general knowledge quizzes.  You can use the Internet or textbooks or ask anyone for help apart from other entrants.  I found the whole thing great fun and the questions were a great brain work-out.  If you want to take part, pop over to register in the comments section of Kellen`s journal, you`ll be very welcome.

Kerry had to take Roman back to the doctor today, his exema has become infected and is starting to cause him irritation. He has been prescribed an antibiotic cream as well as his usual moisturising cream, steroid cream and bath oil.  She has now been told that it may not just be baby exema but it could be hereditary, she is very upset and so is Slava.  Jim and I feel dreadful about it because it`s hereditary on our side of the family as it is in Slava`s too. One of the worst affected places is on his back where his nappy goes, we have a special lint that I tuck into the waist of his nappy to make sure his skin doesn`t stick to his sleepsuit.  Each night I wash Roman and then cover him from head to toe in the moisturiser, he doesn`t really like itbeing applied but it has to be done. The unaffected parts of his skin are so soft from the cream that I hope one day that the rest of his body will follow suit, I`d do anything rather than see him so uncomfortable, bless him.  On the plus side, Danny grew out of his bad exema and about 18 mths and a nephew who exema was REALLY bad grew out of it at about 4yrs.  I just hope Roman will too.

Now I have something different for you, it`s a story of a haunting in Kentucky, USA. I hope you all have a lovely evening, Take care and Bye Bye for now.

                     Harrodsburg Spring park,

                                   Kentucky

On an unspecified date in the late 1800's, a young woman checked into the Harrodsburg Springs Hotel in this small Kentucky town. She used a false name, and while no one knew her true identity, they recalled that she was quite beautiful. That night, as music played in the ballroom, the girl came downstairs and began dancing with various partners. The young men of the town eagerly lined up for their turn to dance with the beautiful young girl.

The girl danced passionately and at the end of the night, her final partner realized, that to his horror, the young girl had literally died in his arms. The shocked staff and guests held a funeral for this mysterious girl and she was buried on the hotel's property. The hotel is gone now.It burned down more than fifty years ago, although the grave remains in what is now a public park. There is a metal marker over her resting places that reads... "UNKNOWN - Hallowed and Hushed be the place of the dead. Step Softly. Bow Head."

As time has passed, local residents claim that this mysterious girl still returns to the site of the hotel. She has been seen lingering in the moonlight, slowly dancing and twirling to music that only she can hear.... still recalling that tragic night so long ago.
