Effie has been, well, for HER, quiet. However, gardening season is here, and we can't expect too much of her.
Sunday, July 1st, as we were leaving for my platelet donation (I try to donate bi-weekly at the Red Cross), and we were saying good morning to our elder neighbor, I heard the sound of Effie's bedroom window shade being adjusted. Looking up, I realized for the first time that she has taken the screen off that window. ?? Maybe all the intruding insects remind her of Thailand.
I didn't raise my voice too much--not hockey-fan volume--when I said, "You can stop watching us now, (real first name)." I saw her head poke out the window after I said that. "You need to be leaving all of us alone, (real first name)." Our elder neighbor and I grinned at each other and nodded in understanding. She knows "what time it is."
I wonder if that screen is out so she can pass drugs to customers from upstairs...just a theory; no evidence.
