How many people and whom did you open your front door to today ?


I had One small Amazon delivery first, ... then later a knock at the door and 2 tiny boys carrying a bucket of water asked me very politely if I would like my car washed. I declined but bless them , they were so small... ... my 3rd ring on the bell was a grocery delivery guy, and as I told him I hadn't ordered anything he looked at his sheet and realised he should be in the next road... the 4th knock was another delivery from a different company .... so lots of bell ringing today


How many times, did your bell or knocker .. get knocked today....

My health insurance company sent me 14 fresh meals sealed and ready to microwave. They do this after a hospital stay. Most are dinner. Some are breakfast or brunch. No one else has called but I am expecting some cat food for the sweet little babies who have taken up residence.
 

None. I have a "No solicitation" sign that has kept door knocking people away for many years now. Delivery people have never knocked because packages are left on the porch. So the door was opened twice and by myself, once for the mail retrieval and once for an Amazon delivery. (Yeah, I did my part in helping Jeff pay for his $50M wedding now, I feel better.) 😁

From "How the Great Guest came".

Conrad was visited by 3 people. The Lord never appeared as promised?



Why is it, Lord, that Your feet delay?
Did you forget that this was the day?
Then, soft in the silence a Voice was heard:
Lift up your heart, for I kept My word.
Three times I came to your friendly door,
Three times My Shadow was on your floor;
I was the beggar with bruised feet;
I was the woman you gave to eat;
I was the child of the homeless street.
 
When I had my last house we were on a fairly busy street and once I retired, people were knocking at the door all day long. I was teaching a university class online and every time someone knocked all four of my dogs would bark like crazy.

I got really fed up with it and I bought a very large sign that showed grumpy cat giving his middle paw saying no solicitors. You could see it from the sidewalk without even walking up anywhere near the house. After that, very few people ever knocked or rang the bell again.

For the few that did I would point to the sign and ask them couldn’t they read or were they just stupid then I would just stand there and look at them and wait for an answer. The answers were pretty hilarious Needless to say as they tried to explain why they thought they were special. I would just stare at them until they finally would walk away. Luckily, that didn’t happen very often.
 
I have a locked gate at the bottom of the drive. I opened it to the power company so they could reset the transformer the cowbird flew into, blew it out and fried himself in the process. No, I don’t feel bad for the cowbird, there are hundreds of them and they take the bird seed from the song birds.
