The other morning sitting in my sunroom enjoying the late morning listening to the birds chirp and watching the local kids ride their bicycles by my house while sipping a delicious cup of coffee.
These are the mornings I love and as a person who has been retired for the last couple of years, this is the most peaceful thing in my life and I wouldn’t trade this time for anything in the world.
It’s usually quiet in my neighborhood and it’s extremely rare that anything crazy happens but this morning I watched my neighbor Jerry’s air conditioner fall out of his window and right behind it was a little boy watching the damage he did. This boy smiled after he destroyed his air conditioner. Jerry is a sweet guy so I don’t know why a kid would do this to him. He does a lot for the neighborhood and is in general a great person. Jerry was telling me about his new girlfriend and how her son acts out at times so maybe jerry thought this day would happen. Jerry did have an HVAC technician install a smart thermostat recently and with my recent talks with him he contacted the heating and cooling company to install central air conditioning. I just hope this kid’s mom actually talks to him about the damage he is doing and figure out a way to help him see what his actions are causing. I know Jerry really likes this woman so he’ll take whatever the boy does but this isn’t quite fair to him.
