Today I went to go and pick up the last of the Happenings Books that Cole’s been selling for his marching band trip. I had called the lady and gotten her address, and went out to find it.
\n“10684. There it is.” I pulled up to the house, but didn’t see any books left on the porch. She had told me she wouldn’t be there, but would leave them on the porch. <\/p>\n
Well, there was a note on the door, so I went up to see what it said. Hmmm. The note wasn’t to me, but it said to ‘leave the papers inside’. Or something like that. What to do, what to do? I rang the doorbell, just to see if maybe SOMEONE was home. I waited for a minute, and there was no answer. Hmmm, I thought, if there’s a note on the door, maybe the door’s open. Maybe the books are just inside the door. I turned the knob, opened the door a little bit, and saw no books. Maybe I’ll leave a note or something to say that I was here. I’ll just peek around the door a tiny bit. No books. This looks kind of like a grandma house. Not what I’d expect to see from what I knew about this lady. What I did see, however, were some family pictures on the wall, and not one of them looked like the family I knew. <\/p>\n
I quickly shut the door and realized that I might just not be at the right house. <\/p>\n
Panicked, I hurry back to the car. It’s not really breaking and entering because I didn’t break in. The door was unlocked. And I didn’t really enter, either. I just looked in. So, it would be more like opening and peeking. I don’t think that’s really against the law, is it? Get me out of here.<\/p>\n
Back in the car, I looked at my notes. More carefully this time. Oh. It’s 10648<\/strong>, not 10684<\/strong>. This is the problem you get when your house numbers are 5 or 6 digits long. It’s just too hard to keep track of all those numbers. I drove south and there, about 3 houses away, was the house I was looking for. 10648. And what do you know? Out on the porch was a bag full of Happenings Books just for me. I hopped out of the car, grabbed the books and fled the scene. I’m glad that Today I went to go and pick up the last of the Happenings Books that Cole’s been selling for his marching band trip. I had called the lady and gotten her address, and went out to find it. “10684. There it is.” I pulled up to the house, but didn’t see any books left on […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1075"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1083,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075\/revisions\/1083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
