Carlisle contacted us today and it  brought to mind a few old anecdotes. I figure I'll share one for the sake of entertainment.

There's a large tapestry that stretches for a good portion of the main hall between the Throne room and the main foyer. 

The wall behind that tapestry is bare and made of stone/brick just as the rest of the castle is except for a few places within our chambers where we have fortified walls which are covered again with plaster and white…

Been here in La Push my whole life but seems as I get older, Im getting less and less tolerant of being cold. Used to be we went swimming in 30 degree temperatures. 80 degrees still isnt warm enough to get this old man into the drink. I was just out back grabbing some wood and heard a bunch of kids talking as they were walking by. They are heading to the cliffs to go diving.  It's cold, they aren't part of the pack either. They're just crazy! 

It's a nice quiet day here, just me and…

Last night we went to the diner then to see Lego Batman. I thought it was so funny! My favorite character is Robin. He's just silly and a little bit awkward and that makes him funny! I love playing with Legos. Quit has this huge Star Wars thing he built and I remember once I touched it and it like exploded.  He got so mad I thought he was going to kill me but he didn't! Still now there are two pieces still missing. Tell me how the heck if you break something do the pieces go missing and you…

Ok guys, this is so fun and gross and cool!

We're making SLIME with glitter!

Here's what you need...

• Clear Glitter glue
• 1/2 cup of liquid starch (approximate)
• Food coloring

Step 1

You can either use the pre-glittered glue , or you can use regular Elmer's school glue and add your own glitter. I've found that if you use the really fine grain glitter it's the best! I've also used chunky glitter and confetti shapes too.…

An Unusual Pursuit.

Even when you are a seer, you find yourself in situations that you could have never once imagined until fate has scheduled you will be there.

If you would have asked me once upon a time if I would be following Demetri to Italy, completely unaccompanied by anyone mind you, I would have told you that you were insane.

Nevertheless, there I was. It was a decision made at last moment as Demetri was staring into my eyes with…

I get very few days off and when I do I swear the weather gods are against me. Every freakin' time I pull the boat out, it rains. I suppose I shouldn't complain simply because I do have a day off but come on, really? Rain? Again? Am I surprised? February, Washington... Rain. To be frank, every month...Washington... RAIN. So yeah, Im grumpy but hell, I have a day off so I'm going to make the best of it.

Sue decided to stay home and dry which at this point, I think was the right…

Now that I have been back home for some time it has allowed me to reflect on my recent trip to Forks.    I was sent back there yet again to check on the Cullens.   To see that they were indeed still hiding what they were.   To check on the young Renesmee.   To see how she had grown and change.  To see if she had developed more of her gift or if she had developed a new gift.   To Aro she was of great curiosity.   I was to study her as much as I could and to keep an eye on Alice and Edward.…

Sitting and watching the boys play while Kim got breakfast ready.   It was so hard to believe they would be three this summer.   It was so hard in some respects to believe that.   When they were born they were so small.  Declan had arrived first.  19 Inches long, 5 Lbs 2 ounces.  Delsin arrived second. 5 lbs and 19.5 inches long.  Here now playing on the floor with cars and blocks, almost three there had grown so much and kept Kim and I so busy.  School was not so…

It had been a miserable day.   I simply wanted to get out of the rain at some point.    I don't know what made my choose that dinner that day.   Perhaps it was that I'd never been in that one.   Perhaps it was fate that pulled me there.  The events from the moment I walked through that door are something I will never forget. …

A few flurries fly and the whole of Forks seems on edge.  There were seven accidents today which brought people into the ER. All of that from a few snow flurries. That's not even mentioning how many incidents there were that did not involve injury. 

It snows, people panic. Why is that? I have never understood why and I suppose I just never will.  

I treated a few bruises, scrapes and a concussion. Someone slid into a cyclist. Lucky for him, the automobile was not moving very fast…

Dear Alice.

My family and I had just moved away from Forks. Jasper had lost control on Bella’s Birthday when she suffered a paper cut. It was too close for comfort and we needed to make sure that it would never happen again.

My visions showed me how devastated Bella would be when Edward and our family left her behind but I could have never imagined or visioned that she would not recover.

Days passed by as we moved. I kept an eye on Bella…

This year, Esme suggested that the family make home made gifts. It sounds like a grand idea, well, maybe for the rest of the family, it will be easy. For me, I gotta admit, it scares me a little. I mean what could I possibly make? I'm much better at breaking and wrecking stuff. I remember attempting to make a gift for Rose one year. I ended up with what I'm sure was the worlds largest ball of glue, and a big mess.  Long story short, it didn't work out. Rose tried to make me feel better by…

Too often we hold ourselves back from dreaming big because we feel it is too impossible. Our dreams were designed to be limitless, where you can go anywhere and be anything you could conjure up in thought.

When we were young, we lived for our dreams. Our worlds were filled with fairy tales and endless play pretend. We dreamed we could be anything. From Mothers, Teachers,…

For me, it's a memory of the past that is pleasant and spreads warmth throughout my whole body.

One such thing is the wedding band on my finger. Another is a dried flower that Esme had in her hair on our wedding day which is laminated and tucked into one of my journals. The items I find nostalgic don't always have to be anything of monetary value. As a matter of fact, most of them would be deemed worthless to any…

I may be one of the most feared guards of the Volturi, but there are always thoughts brewing in my mind.  One thought, one wish in particular has plagued me for centuries.  Nobody knows that I admired Carlisle Cullen when he was part of our coven.  Not admired like a boyfriend, but more like a father.  A father I deserved.  My biological father was not one to admire at all.  In my childhood, I might as…

Had a report filed by a citizen that some kids were messing around and spray painted graffiti on some of the rocks over by LaPush. 

I don't understand what makes people do stupid stuff. I wouldn't have ever dreamed of defacing anyone's property for fear that my father would tan my goddamn hyde if I did. Where has the respect gone with this current generation?

I took the call and John Parker and I…

I have never been one to be overly sentimental but the loss of my coven mother, Sasha, and sister, Irina, have brought a change. Since Garrett has become a part of my existence, there has been a dynamic shift. A whirlwind of emotion strikes me as I reflect on loss and gain, pondering family and its personal significance.

As I sit  in a favored clearing near our Denali residence, I recall centuries of roaming with…

Walking down the streets of Dublin looking around I can still see the bullet holes in the sides of statues and buildings.

Today is a day of remembrance.  One hundred years ago a small band (approximately 1250) of brothers and sisters decided to fight for our sovereignty.  It was taken from us by King Henry I in 1171.  From that time we have sought…

 A Dream Is Defined As A Succession Of Images, Thoughts, Or Emotions Passing Through The Mind During A State Of Unconsciousness. This Was Otherwise Known As Sleep. The Term Would Never Relate To Myself, However, As Sleeping Was A Luxury Not Obtainable To My Kind. Another Definition Of The Same Word, Conversely, Is A Wild Or Vain Fantasy. This Definition Seemed More Appropriate When Associating The Word, Dream, To Myself. Wild And Vain, Indeed. My Egotistical Nature Seemed To Be Everywhere At…
