My Estate Sale Journey with Security

I went to an estate sale today and was really impressed with the house.  I also got a great workout in - the house was literally straight up about a quarter mile.  The lady walking up the winding driveway and I were huffing an puffing.  I bought two larger things and had to make the long trek twice!!

The house itself was great, but what really impressed me was the level of security.  People that know me know I love security cameras and security doors and this house had it all.  The Alarm Systems White House Station was the security system and it was impressive.

I am not paranoid, by any means, but I like to be proactive and I also love all kinds of electronic gadgets.  I took a few minutes to catch my breath, but also to look at the cameras and monitors and the security equipment  in general.  It was not in your face, but the message did come across. 

This was not a house you wanted to attempt to rob :)

My Sister and me

Written by Fermin Washington Moving in with my sister was something I wasn’t exactly excited to do but it was really necessary after I lost my job when I was 23. She was already married with kids but there wasn’t much I could do about it and they had an extra room. Karey’s always been the most gracious to me and I like how generous she is with her home but I feel like I’mwalking on eggshellssometimes trying not to mess it up. It’s pristinely decorated and she keeps it as clean as humanly possible even with the kids around so I try as hard as I can to be neater than I’m naturally inclined. There’s a http://HOMESECURITY101.COM alarm there, too, and for the life of me I can’t remember the code to turn it off which makes it even worse for me when I’m already feeling bad about messing the place up! I love Karey but I hope I can get back on my feet soon and pay for my own place to live again.
