There's something strange about coming home, expecting everyone to be there, ready to say "welcome home", only to discover that the house is empty. So when this happened this afternoon, I of course called LOML's cell phone, to find out where they were, and when they'd be back. But the phone just rang in another room --- left behind, another not-so-silent reminder.
They phoned a little later --- they had gone for a walk in a state park an hour or so from here, and were on their way home. And all was fine.
But it was still disconcerting.
Yours, off kilter,

Well, personally I like an empty house & the peace it holds, though I suppose if I came home & all 3 of my kids (I'm a single parent) were not there & I didn't know why, I'd be frantic!
ReplyDeleteHere from Micheles today.
...and don't you just hate it when the phones been left behind!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a little odd. I would be a little panicked because My Honey and I don't go anywhere with out our cells any more. Which I think is weird too because we've only had them for the last 7 years. I guess that's enough to make a habit.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me tonight but I've enjoyed surfing around and looking at your recipes this week. Would you mind if I added you to my blog roll?
Happy weekend, ~A~
~a~: it was indeed a little odd --- but it was all okay. I try very hard not to panic until it is actually justified!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you've enjoyed the recipes --- I really ought to make sure that I tag entries properly when I create them, but that takes organization!
I'd be delighted to be added to your blogroll!
