Description
The Allisons have a long history of locked doors, unlocked doors, locked, unlocked . . .
A few months ago, we kept the door locked all the time. Well, remember Anne? 84 year old maid school teacher, worst gossip in the world, 5 apts down? She's very lonely and very needy. Alot of the neighbors avoid her for those reasons. I'm not one of them. I indulge her to 3 or 4 phone calls daily, and a short visit or two almost every day.
Well, one day the phone rang and it was Anne, call #4 for the day. I just didn't want to talk, so I let it roll to voice mail. About 5 min later, another call from Anne. I didn't answer it.
About 15 minutes later, I heard a commotion outside the front door. We have windows you can look out of but no one can look in, so I could see a dozen or so neighbors arguing in front of our door. I unlocked the door and opened it to see what all the excitement was about. I thought a few elderly ladies were going to faint, everyone was so surprised! Anne said, "Why didn't you answer the phone?" and I made up some excuse. Turns out that when I didn't answer the phone, Anne was convinced that I had fallen or was in need of medical care of some kind, so she organized some of the neighbors, and they were arguing about whether to break a window and come in to see if I was ok, or call 911 and let them break the window.
After that, I started leaving the door unlocked (until now; now it's locked, again.)
There's more! We started keeping the door locked in the first place because . . . . maybe another time. Anne was involved there, too.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
And thanks for all the kind comments!

This is very pretty, Linda. I just love your use of colors and color combinations. The up side of the Anne story is that if you HAD fallen or needed medical help, she was there. :)

I see bananas and grapes,truly a good mix. We have crab apples and plum trees in our yard. P.S. Your busy body friend sounds a bit like a hero in some ways.

Ah! An unlooked for visit. I too have a visitor but only when outside it is cold and icy. A meal is placed beside the door and my need to slip and slither in search of sustenance displaced. Friendliness comes in many guises - but prickly bananas? Maybe the display of sharpness hints at cleverness concealed. I must apologise before next peeling one. Your picture is flavoursome in different ways but the bananas softly speak.
