Ive had the best fun sitting in this doorway I wish a few times I could have taped it.. I was sitting with the boys and Dutch was getting very anxious, as he wanted over that netting and out onto the porch.... I was trying to watch him..and looking down.. The next thing I knew this cat SPRUNG !! over the top of that and he was out on the porch!.. I grabbed the netting and threw it down at the same time I yelled, rather loudly, to that cat "GET IN HERE!!!!" I looked up just as I said it and there was a guy walking down the side walk looking back at me with this horrified look on his face! I laughed and told him "I'm yelling at my cat ! Not YOU!" . A look of relief came over this guys face and he smiled, waved and kept walking down the street! Talk about perfect timing.. I couldn't have planned that any better..I had to laff I bet he did too as he walked away :-) but I bet he thought I must have been nuts! :-) So anyway a few days later when Im sitting there in the doorway again..I notice across the street at Penny's Garage that its a busy day for them and lots of people going in and out. I saw they had the door open too.. I sat there and saw a kinda young guy get out of his car and walk down the sidewalk to go towards the office.. I said REAL LOUD...."HELLO!" He stops, looks around, and I faintly heard him say "hello" as hes looking around totally confused.. :-) I watch as he very slowly goes up to the door and kinda very leary, peeks in, then goes inside... I watched as he came back out a short while later and I said again VERY LOUD.."BYE!" He stops again..smiles..looks around and back towards the office and waves his hand and I could see his mouth form the word bye as he walked up to his car and got in it.. I watched as he backed out and pulled up to the corner and hes still looking all over to see where the voice came from :-) Maybe he thought it was God and wondering what was happening to him :-) With the glass in the door and I have that netting in front of me, no one can really see me sitting there.. I did that a few times yell hello to someone across the street and I did tell a young man walking his dog that he had a cute dog..it was too, just a tiny thing.The guy looked towards the porch but I doubt he could see me the screen is black and I noticed that when I looked from the outside in.. I sit in the doorway and think and day dream but I just couldn't help not being smart when I scared that first guy I thought it would be fun to do and it sure is.. I wish I could tape it..Some of the looks on the guys faces is so funny. I very seldom see any women walk or even ride a bike by here. mostly its men or young kids riding bikes.. Isnt it sad what a bored person will do? :-) If you look at my flower box in the top picture you can see how good my impatients are doing.. The roses in the back yard are just glorious..they are covered in buds..Even Penny was amazed at how pretty it is... The flowers are doing just wonderful , I wish I could get out there and see them, but as hot as it is today I am NOT going out even if I could.. I had the door open long enough to take the photos and that was long enough.. You can see all the big trucks across the street too..now you know why its so noisey here..There were 4 semi's over there when I took that photo...
Well I have some good left over spaghetti and you KNOW how spaghetti is..its always better the next day..Dawn came over this morning and they are going to Ft. Wayne to the races and taking their trailer..Shes pulling the 32 foot trailer over to her parents and meeting Donnie there after he gets off work. Poor Dawn ,Shes so nervous she has only pulled that huge thing once or twice.. Shes not real worried as there are no corners she will have to turn its all straight road..her parents are on the far side of Goshen..on the way to the races.. Its good for them to get away like this..They both go so much I worry about them.. I know they will have a good time this week end..and I gave them some food so I know they will have plenty to eat.. They are both worried about their jobs..Its getting really bad here.. If it keeps getting worse I told Donnie he will just have to let me rent his basement :-) he did NOT give me an answer :-) but I didn't think he would other than a MOAN..and a smile :-) Time for sketti and to write my GORGEOUS WEEBLE nighty nite.. :-)
Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS ! :-) Always, Lois **** |

Hi, Honey,
You need to be careful, yelling at strange men!!
Seriously, though, how quick could you lock the door if one took it into his head to come and investigate?
It would be good if Dawn could take one of the "Practical Caravaning" courses that our Caravan Club run, over here. I wonder if there is an equivalent "Trailer Club" in the States? The course I went on (with wife & daughter) was run by a caravaner who was also an instructor for Semi drivers and he was very good, full of practical advice which has since been very valuable.
Take care, Honey,
Luv Ya,
Raife

Hello Butterfly,
Raife is right, you shouldn't shout at strange men. We should know right Raife. Minnie Me has just passed out for the night. He is such a lump to carry off to bed but I really enjoy the cuddle. Rainy nasty muggy day here in London town. I'll catch up with you later.
Take Care Butterfly
