Just When I Thought the NeighborHOOD was Improving This little news struck me kind of funny. I have to admit that this is ironic considering that I had just posted a blog entry about the home values rising in our neighborhood. It was just another sign that this is still the hood.
As I was pulling up to my house yesterday, I noticed that a police car was backing out of our driveway. I thought it was odd, but the cop didn't stop when she saw me pulling in, so I figured she was just turning around. I drove into the garage & was headed to the mailbox when our next door neighbor flagged me down. I went to talk to her and she asked if I had been home during the afternoon. I told her that I was just getting home from work now. She proceeded to tell me that their house got broken into and they were cleaned out. Since there were tire marks in her yard and they know it happened between 2 & 3pm, she was trying to find witnesses.
Suddenly, I was very thankful for our alarm system as well as the sign in our yard and the hundreds of stickers all over our windows announcing that we are protected by ADT. I am not saying that it will stop thieves, but hopefully make them think twice about our house. There are easier targets around and the owners probably have a lot better stuff to take.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
