I'll get back to our fabulous family visit shortly. (I have to savour it!) Meantime, I've been busy. Joe was out doing errands. At least, I would have getting to indoor chores, if two white women didn't come to my door to interrupt me. My dear friend used to tell the Jehovah's Witnesses 'Hari Krishna.' Later, I thought, after the taller woman introduced herself and her sister, I should have asked her for her home address so I could go bother her in the middle of Thanksgiving prep.
They try suck you in to their religion on your door step, assuming we are godless infidels. How arrogant to think they can drive the 100 m up our driveway and waltz up the sidewalk to interrupt me. I'd just done a workout, I was sweaty and not fit for company. It's so hard to get rid of them, as well. More harm has been done in the name of religion. Just look at Gaza, where the peace deal is showing cracks. Everyone needs to live in peace.
Today our local animal rehab peeps are going to release some raccoons in our forest. More on that after the fact! It's a bit of excitement in our day.

My daughter recalls me being very abrupt with JWs. I was very upset that they had a precious child with them on their mission, and I didn’t know how to handle that, and I guess that I didn’t do it very well.
I'm guessing that when you live in the North, there are always Winter chores to be done in preparation of the cold months and the snow. Honestly, this sounds exciting. Here...it's move a few plants into the greenhouse and cover the pool. I think I would love to spend a Winter season up North...I know it is beautiful..
Uninvited strangers looking for recruits into their cult. ARgghhh!! Jehovah's Witnesses don't vote, discourage higher learning and practice shunning. No thank you!!
yup. I hear you on that. It's like people phoning at dinner time or right before, but coming to the door is even worse! I think I would have been inclined to say "How would you like it if I interrupted you right before TG dinner!" Can't wait to see more of the fam!
I hate being interrupted when I'm in the cleaning zone.
I wonder what your local groundhogs will think of having racoons around. I dare say you've already considered that. Sorry about your unexpected bath, and the very unwelcome visitors. I'm impressed that you stood on a ladder and took photos!

Our local 'Joes' have given up on door-stepping. Instead, they put letters of invitation and copy of their magazine through the letterbox. Now I tend to meet them down on the promenade or shoreline, where they are gathering up stones that they paint and leave... with biblical references on. I've got a couple. That, to me, is an inoffensive and less challenging approach. YAM xx
Raccoons incoming, sounds like you are so excited, I would be too. Brave lady to scale the ladder!!!
I hate when people like that come to my door. We have the Mormons in the neighborhood all the time here. When they get pushy I get mean.
I always just tell them that I am Catholic and not interested.
here the JW's don't come to the door anymore. They set up little stands and talk to people in the street. We phoned their church and told them not to come here anymore, They stayed away.
My grandfather had the best lines for JW's. 'Hey stick around, we are going to sacrifice a goat later this afternoon.'
They usually left pretty quickly.
Looks like you have had a very busy few days!
