Default Ladies Close Your Blinds

We never keep the blinds closed in the back of our house due to our yard being surrounded by shrubs and privacy fencing. I felt safe because of it. Wrong, and that was my first mistake.

Tonight I was sitting on the bed watching the Olympics and when I stood up and turned around I saw a man looking in the window. I shouted out to Tom call 911 there was a man looking in the window. When the cops arrived we went into the backyard and sure enough the gate was wide open and we never leave it open. The cops looked around with their flashlights and asked a few questions then proceeded to tell us there is a peeping Tom in the area.

I can't begin to tell you what a creepy feeling this is to know someone has been peeping in at me and wonder how long this has been going on. Every blind in this house is now closed and will remain that way until we leave this house in September headed to TV. I will never feel safe here again.

I want to clarify this did not happen in The Villages but this could happen anywhere. Ladies please be careful and never let your guard down like I did.
