Sirens Rushed to Our Home

Bob and I went to the mall this morning in search of knowledge of using Apple laptops as paired friends. Nothing like those young experts to make us admit our ignorance in today’s technology. Do all techies have nose rings and ponytails?

As we grabbed a burger before heading home, a neighbor greeted us with a smile. Just a short time ago, he had heard sirens rushing to our home, something unique in our quiet neighborhood. Another young gentleman, who weekly stops by our home to help with our aquariums, set off our home alarm. His boss had switched their password while forgetting to inform his young employee. Bob and I seldom have the alarm activated during the day. It sure was an unwelcome surprise as fire engines, ambulances and police rushed to our address. At least we found out our alarm company is diligent in efforts to protect our home. Tell that to our quaking “fish guy” and startled bichon.

Bob and I have gone through almost all of the boxes and bins crowding our home following the kitchen renovation. We should finish with one more work session. A new cleaning lady arrives tomorrow afternoon to try to get the remaining grit from our home. (I used to smile when I heard friends say they needed to clean before the cleaning lady.)

Bob just got back from a walk with Einstein. Curious neighbors rushed outside to see him. We’re now somewhat celebrities and extremely grateful it was a false emergency. Bob’s unsure of the throngs he attracts and pledges to obtain a disguise before venturing out again. I just laugh.

Advantage of the Mighty Three

  • You quickly discover your neighbors’ concerns if sirens rush to your home. They’re aware of your medical hurdles and send silent prayers for our health. Thanks guys. We’ll take all the prayers we can get.
