Carina posted this in another thread, and I took the liberty of starting a new string, so Knowflakes would be sure to find it. Hope you don't mind, Carina! quote:
Hi everybody,
esp Randall, (my last entry was asking about the book you were or are considering writing about Lindas life. I went to visit cripple creek last year and i feel bad bcoz i never told you all about the amazing things that happened to me.. so ill tell you all as much as i can . Me and my little lamb ram daughter Stephanie(21) left Scotland on June 2nd 2004 to go to Denver first for 5 days..nice hotel etc ..we had to take cabs at this point which was neat our 1st american cab!! we got in ..was a really cool guy called Michael!! anyway we chatted about why we were visiting Denver.told him the reason we were here and about Linda how i had always intended to come because she made it sound magical and moaned about her departure etc.. and he said GOOD WOMEN DONT DIE ..she wll be alive for sure!! ( i lost my baby brothers body in 1998 and he came back as someone else...suicide...) so it made perfect sense to me what he had just said.. me and my daughter just looked at each other and smiled ( that smile)
We arrived in cripple creek on the 7th we drove up through the springs and passed the garden of the gods on the way.(smile)we did
when we arrived at Carr ave it was exactly what i expected a crooked little house!! when we walked inside ..I could actually feel her presence!! it was like a shrine to her we became quiet and respectfull and the window there you can see it from the stair and the colours ruby red cobalt blue (Linda was a very passionate woman) i felt it there on the stair.. right then it hit me this was a little love nest!
we had booked the Linda Goodman room and it felt like linda had just gone out for a while and i was intruding .. not for long i had that feeling.. we closed the door and just sat and looked around and felt really good we discovered cripple creek for the next few days we talked to many people who knew her personally and told us intimate private things we would never have known sometimes silly little eccentricities and others totally bad habits and addictions !! incidently my own mother was born on the same day same year as linda.. so i have a little insight into what the reality is like my mom can be impossible sometimes and can be downright arrogant at times i mean she is a very caring direct woman but she is no timewaster!! i asked someone who knew her well what Linda would react like if she had been alive and i just went to her door unnanounced ?? and if i thought about how my own mother would react it was the same ..i know my mom!! shed tell me to get on my bike ( i was also told about how and probably why she moved around the corner..people just turning up unnanounced!) did you all know she almost literally walked out there leaving A LOT if not THE LOT!! now that in its self is a bit kooky!! and i find myself wondering if she just wanted a clean sheet to try and get over her broken heart..she pestered the owners every month presenting a bigger and bigger check until they gave up (aries persistence or what) the couple who run the Last Dollar Inn well they are just beautifull souls who made each day a pleasure to wake up to!! the Denver omlette is what i miss (Rick it was the best!!)On the day we left Janice gave me a First edition Venus trines at midnight!! a lovley pink cover on it and inside was a hand signed card which was inscribed with the words EXPECT A MIRACLE and her signature!! We cried they are such a nice couple and they said we deserved it.. aww!!
So on with my tale i hope your not bored yet.
We met one man whos mother and he had been the saggitarius saggitarius relationship Linda had OBSERVED for her book . we talked about the different vibration up there it is more real than me and you.. remembering im a gemini and he was saggitarius what a conversation !!!it spiralled... and i won a fortune playing the tables at the same time(gemini )while my daughter entertained everyone with her aries leo charm and got politley drunk he he... So i had been given back every penny it had and would cost for my whole visit there to cripple creek...!! We all went to Ralphs bennett ave(great place) it was our last night and things couldnt have been any better... Then i was introduced to an ex police cheif who was a pisces!! well im not aware yet of the irony of how the conversation went.. Like me telling him that was the wrong profession for a pisces.. etc we talked and talked and struck up a friendship..he was a babe too!! anyway the upshot is that we left to go to S.D next day, After meeting Mr pisces for breakfast and he asked if i would return and visit him? ..well!! during all this time i was trying my best to buy Gooberz as my time had never been to read it and to no avail.. so off we set to S.D and the events that took place there could only be described as mental and definite proof of fate guiding me to go back to cc..
Ill post this for now as im getting bored typing..and im sure i am going to post this in the wrong place and everyone will be like hello ROSICRUCIAN?? sorry just felt like typing tonight.. and not a gemini attempt at changeing the subject!!
My mom also reads an awfull lot and has the ability to relate what she has read like she actually lived it!! is why mabey you are all thinking because of her uncommon wisdom in these areas mabey she was a student..not my mom i mean Linda
.. sorry if anyone wants to hear what happened when i returned ill tell in another posting!! love you all carina

Hi sorry i kept ppl waiting ..ill get straight on,
My Daughter and myself left Cripple Creek had one more night in Denver and made our way to South Dakota which is where my best friend a saggitarius girl who married a local after visiting an aunt out there anyway she is my heart and we are close shes a two person and can be quite sensitive i regard her as a soul union friend..anyway when we get out there she has got the blues big time and the seven yr itch as far as her marriage is concerned .the first week we were there she is out having an affair.. and i dont want to be blamed for anything she starts acting completly out of character and we start arguing .. i was so upset and decided to leave as Mr Pisces has been calling and inviting me back to Cripple Creek.. of course the last night before we were to return to CC we all made up again but we went anyway with the intention of returning after a few weeks. My Daughter also met a little bullriding Cowboy that night too!
So here we are again driving up through the springs bypassing the tunnel of time!! going up higher and higher it felt strange this time with Mr Pisces driving its as if i felt like i was being brought back!! Which indeed is what happened!
Any which way you enter Cripple Creek Mr Pisces's house dominates the skyline it is basically king of the hills house!! there is only Canyon City between the middle of his garden beyond is the Sangre de christo mountain range i had read so often about and imagined seeing it so often right there in the garden .and then a wondorous thing happened the clouds they came right up and just sat there below my feet!! i sat on the porch and cried as Mr Pisces came out with a beer.. we sat and looked at each other and i thanked him and he thanked me!! it was all so surreal ..
he had a telescope in the conservatory/jaccuzi room and pointed it onto Lindas house not Carr ave the other one with the swimming pool.. i was up there looking down on her house i could see the stained glass i could see the porch awnings i could see what she saw i felt like the luckiest person in the world.
As my Daughter acclimatized herself to the remote controls and got Lucy the cat purring nicely!! we have a cat named and looks exactly the same in Scotland so she was happy my little two ram/well Lamb.
The next day the sun came out as it had rained quite a bit.. and i wondered if the book was going to be forthcoming around about now please i said with my head looking at Lindas house.. heart hoping..
so i asked if there was any possibility that Mr Pisces could try and get Gooberz for me to read ? (he has contacts in that area) .
Next day we relaxed and sat me mostly sitting writing looking at the mountains all around me the timberline where there is no oxygen and listening to the little CC to Victor narrow gauge railway ride going aroung chuffing and puffing tooting its little horn , Contrary to what a lot of people would say that Linda wouldnt be happy with they way things have evolved for Cripple Creek im sure shed like the bustle of it .. It feels like it has been asleep too long hidden ..and time now for an awakening it feels happy there .. we forgot about how high up we were that day sitting up there and got a nice un scottish like suntan .
Later we ate at Johnny Nolans by this time im transported back a hundred years or so because a lot of feelings were happening for me right about then. as i realized in a few days time that i was actually experiencing Saturns seven year return right then these days!! now! in that house way up there 10 thousand feet above sea level at this point the dreams i were having were profound! evry little conversation was a turning stone.
Then one day i borrowed the car to go take pics of garden of the gods as my previous visit the camera broke.As my Daughter and i pulled up to the junction where you turn left there on the little traffic island straigh ahead was,
a MAN IN FULL SCOTTISH DRESS WITH A SET OF BAGPIPES PLAYING the kind of wail that can upset any Scottish person away from there homeland we just satared at him and each other!! definatly a warm welcome for us then? or a mere coincedence? we were heartened by it.. we took our pics and sat a long time and learned that this place was special in the sense that no blood was ever spilled on these sacred areas .different tribes could go there and talk peace .
we certainly felt peacefull.and what about the bagpipes eh?
When we got home (well to king of the hills home he told me one of Lindas friends in town is going to see if she can find that book for me .. she would lend it to me .. But only as i was a friend of his..vip.. eh?
Next day My daughter had the blues to go see that Cowboy so we sent her on a plane to go get him.. she was spoiling my tranquility anyway all that aries leo asc shopping trips stuff.
We returned from the airport and i met a wonderfull Friend of Linda's who has a gift shop coffe shop,ice cream and sweet shop all in one, Just the kind of shop my own Mom frequents back home! she had same birthday and year! and she told me some funny little storys about Linda and as i stood outside to smoke a ciggarette .. she said i looked just like her stood there puffing those damned ciggarettes. and i should stop!! ( i havnt to date) as i sat and another coffee kind of waiting expectantly she suddenly remembered why i had come and bent over as my excitement grew and out she pulled it.. Gooberz one that Linda had given her years before .. and i could borrow it.. me ... MY TIME HAD COME!IP: Logged |
