We just had a (suitably) pre-Halloween “Molly Moment” at the Elkhorn Inn!
Elisse’s marble “Eagle Moon” lamp- from Rivkin Sudios, her grandparent’s 1912 photography studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma- just went On, after over six months of not working!

When it stopped working many months ago, Dan was convinced that it needed a new socket or rewiring, as it still has (as you can see) the orignial pre-1960s wiring Elisse’s mom did, but we’ve been so busy that we kept putting it off… And then tonight, out of the blue, it was On!
We’d had a Halloween Weekend event scheduled at the Elkhorn Inn with Mark Painter, the professional paranormal investigator from Bluefield, West Virginia’s “Signs of Ghosts”: www.signsofghosts.com, but had to cancel it when we got a full-inn-booking (the Inn is fully booked thru Jan 22, 2011, and now taking reservations for the spring). Mark was set to teach our guests how to “ghost hunt” thru the night all Halloween weekend, using his state-of-the-art ghost-hunting equipment (that thrilled us no end when he spent a night at the inn a couple of months ago…),  and we were totally bummed at having to cancel the event. And then THIS happened tonight! Thank you, Molly! We’ll get Mark back here soon! 😀
