While I was going through picture archives today ...
This little girl with the dirty face used to live in the house next door to me, the year before I bought it and tore it down.

There were three or four children living there and a couple of grown sisters. This little girl's mother was a drug addict. She cooked drugs in that house. Shady people (quietly) came and went all the time.

Whenever this little girl was hungry or thirsty ... or just needed someone to talk to, she sought me out. She liked Mason (the boy dog) too. I kept sandwich fixings around for her and pop or water. The thing is, I can't even remember her name. I just remember it was a very beautiful but unusual name I may never have even pronounced correctly HA. I'm sure she doesn't even remember her time here or the kind neighbor "Mr Jim". It's been a few years.

Just thought it was a nice picture. An innocent child full of curiosity. Wish I could give this picture to her when she's much older but that won't happen.

Just to babble on a bit more about the little girl who had a very beautiful but unusual name I may never have even pronounced correctly HA ... and I can't remember ...

Sometimes in that house next door, they would have water and power and sometimes it was cut off. Most of the sister's money went to drugs I guess.

When power was out, they asked and I let them run one of my extension cords from my porch outlet, through a window on the house so they could have a lamp at night or heat when needed. I may have even loaned them a space heater.

When water was cut off, they asked and I let them use my outside water spigot for their water needs. They'd fill pans and buckets for a cold wash or to flush the toilet.

Of course I never asked for anything in return and would have refused had they offered anything. They were polite people ... but had issues and struggles.

The house was far gone by then and virtually uninhabitable. I swore if there was anything I could do to ensure no one ever lived in that house again I would. I prayed about it. When the house came up at tax auction, I jumped on it and the house sat vacant until I could tear it down.

OH ... and the day after the little girl and them moved out ... an actual bounty hunter came to the house looking for one of the sisters. I told him it looked like they had moved out in the middle of the night before. The bounty hunter didn't take my word for it ... he busted the kitchen door down on the side of the house and searched for the sister. Of course she wasn't there. Guess word had gotten to them that a bounty hunter was asking around about them.

The bounty hunter gave me one of his cards in case I saw them again but I never did see them again and I don't seem to have his card any more.
 
My phone doesn't take pictures, so I've had to take these with my camera.......

Harbour at Portsoy. The remake of the film 'Whisky Galore' and other TV dramas were filmed here.
In times past, Portsoy 'Marble' - actually 'Serpentine' - was mined here and used in palaces and grand houses throughout Europe.
