We got a phone call from Aunt Ellen this morning. She’s invited us to come spend a few days with her at her camp on the lake. I spent a lot of boyhood summers down on that lake, and so I jumped at the chance to go again. There is great fishing and boating, and I like the remote location. Even though her camp has all of the modern conveniences, it is decorated with a rustic charm that gives you the “feel” of being in the wilderness, which I love!
Aunt Ellen cautioned us not to arrive before she does because she is going to have to disarm her new Home Security Surveillance System before we go in. If she doesn’t go in ahead of us, her Home Security system will call the police on us, and no one wants that! She said that she gets charged for false police alarms! And we certainly don’t want to have to try to explain to the police that we were invited relatives! After all, with the recent news story about that poor guy getting arrested for trying to get into his own house is enough to make anyone nervous!
Aunt Ellen had been talking about getting one of the new Home Security Systems installed at her camp because she was concerned that there had been so many break-ins in that area that she was afraid that her camp was going to be hit pretty soon. I think it was a wise decision to make.
