Witch'n Week

1. I play the fool of a 25 year old and crack several ribs on my left side of my 60 year old body.
2. I have an employee with much tears in her eyes needing $800.00. She blew out of town.
3. But what ticks me off was Wed I hand 80 groups of grapes.

Today all grapes have been stripped from the vines.

If someone came to my door and said my family is hungry I would feed them. But stealing grapes is just sits wrong with me......

Ya I knen I was stupid to aci at like a 25 year old, and knew the employee would blow out but the grapes don't cut it......

The Pineapples still good to go Raye? Don't need anyone getting a green one. Serves you right acting like a 25 year old at 60 the best you can do is 35 ;D

I wish I could act like a 25 year old, I can only think like one; and that is only occasionally.

Sorry to hear someone has stolen from you again. I know how i feel when someone steals my property.

Olds,

I hear you on all your points. I know that you would have gladly given all the grapes away if some one asked. I commend you on your kind and generous heart. And to have the body of a 25 year old would be nice at our age.

Olds,

You can choose to be foolish and/or generous at your own risk of peril. But when someone steals from you then you suffer because of their choices, and that is just plain wrong. It's sad and unfortunate.

The repeated thefts from your garden would suggest it is being monitored, probably by the same person or group, and I expect you will suffer more of the same. It's time to figure out how to catch the thieves. Just don't do anything that will harm them or you will (sadly) pay even more in court somewhere.

A well placed camera should do the trick.

One of them Infra Red Deer Trail cams would be great they wouldn't even know the picture was taken

This what we decided to do. That is to fence in (I moved my garden this year) so that the side door of the garage will be opened into that area. In the garage will be Rocky our 110 pound Rot and Bonnie Blu who is 70 plus pounds Boxer. Bonnie is so territorial it is scary. She went after out yard man and as soon as her hair was up the male part of Rocky took over. All I can say is thank the Good Lord there was a chain fence between them.

Want to steal my stuff this fall then you better be wearing body armor, and hope I don't wake up.

I'm somewhat with "Wildcat" on the camera idea. But here in the state of Alabama we have the right to protect ourselves, family and property, period!!!

Back to the camera idea, My BIL recently noticed his morning paper disappearing from his driveway in between the time he left for work and about 9:00 AM. He set up a camera in the living room window and on the first day sure enough someone was walking up and taking his paper. After several days of adjusting the aim and zoom he had a face plain as day.

The last time his paper was stolen he pretended to leave for work and staked out his on driveway...after following a guy home from his morning walk and while he was sitting on his front porch reading (NOT) his morning paper BIL pulls into his driveway and lets him know that stealing can not only get you in trouble with the law it could get much worse!

Of course big dogs are a plus but I would post a "Beware of Dog" sign!

Sorry for your pain and lose!
