Firstly, there was someone working in the shop when Max wasn't home. I get a little twitchy about people out here when I'm alone, but the guy was vaguely familiar and actually had the key code to open the shop door, so a quick text to Max and I'm ok again. Just locked my front door behind me.

Then, after Max came home, when I went out to move the sprinkler, I noticed an elderly man sitting on a bench that we have underneath a tree. Just sitting there chilling, NBD, except we have a lot of neighbors who don't appreciate boundaries. So I approached a little hesitantly and asked, "may I help you?" to which he answered,

"are you an Epperson ?"

"yeee-ah"

"are you Jennifer?"

"Yee-sss"

"Is Max around ? I'm Joe Blah blah blah and I wanted to talk to him."

Well, finally! Ive heard the name before, so I led him back to the house, and Max was delighted to see him

Finally, I was walking Grrr after dinner and heard a ruckus in the garage, when I went to investigate I found a goat, stuck somehow in the corner. We couldn't get him out, even after tempting him with carrots an apples. I hope he finds his way out tonight.

And now for a double gin and some chocolate
