Freaky....

 

Want to hear something freaky???

My dad sold the house he and Mom lived in (another story.....another post).  The day he was packing things into his U-Haul, he had Charlene and two day laborers helping him.  Charlene, Dad and worker #1 were packing up the master bedroom.  Worker #2 was packing up one of the back bedrooms.

Worker #2 was walking through the house and calls out, "Hey......some lady just walked into the backyard."  Thinking the "lady" is my dad's realtor, Charlene comes out of the master bedroom to talk to her. 

Charlene goes into the backyard, through every room in the house and into the front yard calling out "hellloooo......anybody here?"  She doesn't find anyone so she walks back into the house and asked the worker what the lady looked like.

He said, "I don't know.....tall and blonde."  Then he looks at the blanket draped over the couch with all of us kids in the bluebonnets (above).  He points to me in the picture and says, "That's her.  She was just here."  Charlene says, "That's impossible.  That's my sister, Charlotte, and she lives in Minnesota."  The worker replies, "I'm telling you.......I just saw her walk into the backyard."

OK, so I've been told my entire life that I look EXACTLY like my mother.  I'll admit....there were times (hello teenage years!) when I would roll my eyes and blow it off.  The truth is that we really did look alike and I now consider it the best compliment ever!

Since I was nowhere near Texas when the worker saw "the lady", who do you think it was?  Freaky.......right?!
