Good Morning my friends.
My mom asked if I could post this story that she recently wrote.  it's kind of an odd story, but it's totally true. Any one of us here at the house can verify it!   By the way, the cats are still hiding on the other side of the house.  Mom says they will come out and she hopes it happens soon, but I hope not! 

Anyway, here's mom's story called the Green Light Story!



By Luann Zambanini

This is the strange story of the green light.  It started back in November of 2016.  With the Christmas season coming on soon, I thought it would be neat to have one of those Star Showers.  You put them outside and when it gets dark they shine a green and red light on your house.  How perfect for the Christmas Season!  I set it up in the yard after Thanksgiving and when it got dark the red light was the only thing that showed up.  I played around with the switch, but no matter what I did, I only get the red light to work.  So I thought I’d work on it later. 

Time flew by.  I never worked on the light and it always show red dots on the house.  I should have taken it back to Walmart, but by this time it was almost Christmas.  I’d had it a few weeks and so I guess I just started ignoring it.  It only shone red light on the house. Every night, it was red lights only – never did the green show up. 

Then something very sad happened after the New Year.  We learned that Jaybo (our faithful dog of 11 years) had liver cancer.  After a few weeks we had to put her to sleep.  We weren’t looking for another dog since we already have two more dogs and four cats at our house.  We did miss our old gal, but weren’t looking for another one. 

A few days into our sadness, our daughter, who had spoken with a friend, proposed the idea of adopting a dog that this friend knew needed a good home.   My husband was at a Boy Scout event for the night and wouldn’t be home until the morning. Our daughter and I talked about it awhile.  What should we do?  My daughter looked out the window and noticed something really unique:  green and red lights were shinning on the house!  WOW!  This was the first time since we had lite this Star Shower that the green lights had come on!  They looked really neat!  How strange we had the lights on for well over a month and had never once seen the green! 

The following day when my husband came home, our daughter and I ran the idea of a new dog by him.   My husband wondered “What would our dear old dog think?”   It had only been a few days since her passing.  I said thought the dog would say, “You gave me a great home for many years, please give another dog a loving home”. 

That night when the star shower come on, it was green and red again.  When my husband asked if I fixed this star shower, I told him I hadn’t touched it.  Maybe it was a sign from Jaybo, our dear departed dog saying, “Yes”?  Could it be?  

We decided that Jaybo would be okay and happy if we gave another dog a loving home, so we said we’d apply to the rescue place to adopt this dog named, Eve. 

The following night when it got dark, only the red lights were shining on the house.  How strange, I thought:  we are back to only red when for two nights the green and red shown against the house.

We applied for the dog and during the process we got to visit Eve, the dog we were trying to adopt.  We visited one evening and when we got home from the visit, the green and red lights were shining on the house.  We were really starting to think this was a sign from Jaybo, a positive sign to take Eve.

In the days that followed, all the decisions were made and it seemed like there was no need for Jaybo to communicate with us and the green lights did not come on again.  Just the red.  This is the strangest thing I’ve ever heard happen.  But I do believe it was Jaybo saying yes, open your hearts, open your house, open your lives and love another dog as you loved me. 

Since it is February, I am letting the lights on at least until Valentine’s Day - at this point the green lights have no need to come on and they haven’t.

So the mystery of the green lights is still open.   Just no explanation unless you believe, as I do, that it was a great sign from Jaybo.


what can I add but it is really weird, isn't it??
