I'm not Brittney Spears but. . . Oops I did it again. Yes, I set the alarm off at the front door when the doorbell rang. The small sign that said "alarm" is now a strip of paper that has to be moved in order to insert the key to unlock it. I should have done that to begin with but I gave myself a little more credit than I usually do.
Two years ago, a Jehovah's Witness came to the door and she was so very nice. We talked briefly but I could not take much time because it would agitate dad.
The same woman came back again this morning and brought another older lady with her. They did not seem to mind that I set the alarm off and had to go deactivate it or that I was wearing dad's terry cloth robe that he never used. It's big and quite comfy.
We talked for a few minutes and the wind was pretty strong so I invited them in. They saw all the stuff in the living room and I explained that I was putting everything in there so I could later go through it and toss what I did not want. The older woman said she hoped I would not get rid of the beautiful afghan that was laying at the door. There was a whole stack and I told her they were 20-plus years old and I had made them for my mother. She seemed to like it so I told her to take it home with her. I think she thought I was kidding (or crazy) until I picked up the stack and told her to pick any she liked. There was also a never used blanket that I was going to put in my old bedroom but she said that she had just told her husband that they needed a new blanket this winter so I gave that to her too. Even put them in a garbage bag so it would be easier for her to carry. It just feels good to do nice things for people you do not know.
They asked for my telephone number to which I nicely told them I do not give my number out. They asked if they could come back next week and I was not sure what to say so, of course, I said it was fine. I did tell them that I was extremely busy and I may not be home. I don't want to be rude to anyone, especially someone who is trying to do good things so any suggestions would greatly help me. I told them I was not interested in changing my religion so I am not really sure what their expectations are. Maybe I should let them come back as long as they take a bag full when they leave. That could be a win-win. It is sort of weird that she came back here after two years. I wonder if this should be telling me something. Hmmm? I'll need to ponder that at another time.
I keep telling myself to write shorter posts but. . . oops I did it again.
