I very rarely get drop-ins and those that do drop in are usually distant family, like my brother who I see maybe once a year.<br /><br />Delores; I don't keep snacks handy either, if I need any for anyone I can make a batch of scones or brownies. The house doesn't matter so much, I figure anyone dropping in is coming to see me, not the level of dust....<br /><br />MultipleMum; hmmm, something to think about.<br /><br />Baino; you're happy to go on and on while I sit there like a rabbit in the spotlight?

I need at least half a day to make the place look half decent before anyone shows up. Besides, there's never anything to feed anyone in our house. No snack food, no treats. How embarrassing would it be to have nothing to offer someone who "dropped in". <br />I'm with you.

Lock the doors, take off the uniform, take out the teeth, and just be me. <br /><br />Windsmoke; Any visitors here would only be people that I know, or door-to-door salesmen or Jehovah's witness types, they don't get inside. <br />My husband would have said the same thing if I'd wanted a garage sale, he's paranoid that way, but he had no hesitation about going to other garage sales. Odd, that. Sad that your garage was broken into though. <br /><br />Carol; yes, that is possible, I remember when I was younger, friends would visit or I'd visit them and it was easier. Now I think mostly I've just had enough of talking to people (customers) while at work, so home time is down time, just to be me. Alone and quiet with my thoughts. I have my friends at work, but they're all much younger with different lifestyles to mine.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-20184362204542096832011-07-12T16:43:27.641+09:302011-07-12T16:43:27.641+09:30On the other hand..your friends may knock on the d...On the other hand..your friends may knock on the door and you will have a great time..the conversation will flow from subject to subject and you will discuss your hopes and your dreams and will look forward to seeing each other at work more!
