Good morning, guys. We hope this finds all well today, and thank you for stopping back by to visit with us!
Yesterday, I did a post on defending your home. One of our friends sent in a comment in regards to the article. I thought I’d share this with you today.
Gerry, is a good friend of ours, and he lives in Western Canada. He’s a great guy, and Deb and I love him to death.
Anyway, after reading Gerry’s comment, I felt I may have not clearly identified the true intent of this particular post. With that the case, I felt like I might want to do a follow-up this morning and try to clear up a little my true intention for the post yesterday.
Here’s Gerry’s comment…
Hi D @ D. read your column, I can’t Imagine living like you were saying but I suppose things are somewhat different in your country, I can’t help but tell you this , I got up one morning and to let my doggy out and I’ll be darned the beck outside door had been open all night and the front door was unlocked all night and this is not the only time something like this has happened, it happens mostly when I have company everybody is thinking that the other person will look after the doors. God bless you both.
Gerry, ole buddy, it’s not so much that we live like that, but it’s more of simply having a home protection plan in place. It’s much better to CONSIDER something such as this as a POSSIBILITY, and not so much as, “Man, this is gonna happen, no doubt.”
In today’s world, there are a ton of people out there who have little to no regard for themselves, much less anyone else. Sad, but still true. Whether we accept this as fact is entirely up to the individual. Deb and I choose to accept it as fact, while the chances for our home being invaded may be a small one, BUT, the possibility still exists, and we treat it as just that…a possibility.
To us, it’s kinda like driving around all over the place, but not having a spare tire. The chances of you blowing out a tire may indeed be miniscule, BUT, it could happen. Once it does, how bright was it to not carry a spare?
The post yesterday was merely attempting to get people to stop and consider the possibility of their home being invaded, and to consider putting some type of plan in place…JUST in case. We shared our thoughts of if it happened to us, we at least had some type of plan in place, that’s all. Also, we feel it important to have done so.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
