I'm really on top of things lately

Or not. Whatever. Today we headed out to pick up Keith, so we could drive to Nashville and get his iPhone. The excuse to go was that I needed a new ID card, but the phone was the real reason. Forget that we could have picked it up on Sat! Anyway, as I was leaving the house, I backed out of the garage with the back of the van open. I don't recommend doing that. It tore a small piece off the back, where it covers the handle to open it. It looks lovely now. Really classy. Thankfully the drive to and from Nashville was uneventful, but upon returning home, I found our front door open. It wasn't just unlocked, but actually open. My first reaction was to panic (and overreact) but then I figured it out. Right before leaving the house, I gave each boy a job. One went out the garage, but the other went out the front door. I went on out through the garage, so I didn't notice that the door was open. Then that boy, came into the garage, and didn't think about the front door ever again. I felt better knowing that we left it open (ok, I also felt worse/stupid), but I still wondered if anyone had been in here. I haven't found anyone yet, so I guess we're good. I hope my brain returns to me soon, before we need a new van!!

I am so thankful that your house is safe also but don't ever forget the loss of Uncle Sidney. It is so much better to be safe than sorry. The sheriff's dept. told me one night after I called them in a similiar situation that they would so much make that sort of run than the next morning be making a horrible discoverey. 911 is there for a purpose!
