A Very Smart Homeowner
I just encountered a very savvy homeowner here in The Villages.
Yesterday, I picked up our mail and when I got home, I found a Readers Digest that was put in my box by accident. The address numbers were right but the wrong street. I decided to take it to the owner today.
It was only a few minutes by golf cart to their house from mine. The name on the lamp post was the same as on the magazine. I rang the doorbell and a lady comes to the window insert by the front door and calls out, " Who are you and what do you want?" I held up the magazine, told her who I was and that I was bringing their misplaced magazine.
She tentatively opened the door partway, took the magazine, looked at the address and opened the door, smiled and said, " Sorry, but we just have to be careful."
I agreed as she thanked me for bringing the magazine.
Precautions are not hard to take, she did the right thing and is a shining example of what other ladies should do.
