The other day Sara was working from home. I stayed a little late at work and when I got home Sara had taken the dog for a walk. After a while she was walking back to the house and the neighbor invited her in for a chat. I saw her out the window so I walked over there. I was also invited in. I wanted to go close my door because there were about 5 landscapers hanging around on our front lawn near the street. They must have been working on a neighbors house. I didn't feel like leaving our house wide open (you can't see our house from the neighbors very well and there have been burglaries in our neighborhood over the last couple years). However, I didn't want to be rude and just walk over and lock the door in front of them. I decided to go back to the house, through the front door, and lock it. I then went out the back, closed it but picked up an extension cord. I took it with me around the side of the house and around front- visibly holding it as I walked by the landscapers so they would know my neighbor needed borrow it- and over to the neighbors. Of course when I got there I had to explain to my neighbor why I was holding an extension cord for no reason. Labels: life
