Stay or Go

At 1:30 last Friday night I woke to someone on my porch, then ringing my door bell. Nobody, friend or foe, had any business prowling around my property in the middle of the night. I am a light sleeper, but I don't know what woke me. What I saw when I awoke, was a moving shadow cast by my garage's security light. 911 was called (it took about 12 minutes for Spokane Police Department to respond), while the dispatcher stayed on the line with me. Terrified. Three units responded, finding nothing, of course.

8/24/08 – I started this post on June 13, but couldn't finish it until today--adding only the last sentence--until I had put some distance between me and that scary night.

I am staying. I added some additional outdoor lighting, have Kylee stationed overnight on the front porch (none of the 3 dogs made a peep, even when the doorbell was ringing), and I am aware. I can't leave now. I've fallen in love.
