While convalescing

After a rough hospital stay, I came home to convalesce. I was home alone quite a few hours a day as my wife has a store to run. Sitting at the computer, in the Library, I tried to catch up on correspondence. Only my dog (Shadow) and I were home. Shadow laid at my feet in the computer room. Perhaps due to the rather strong medicines I was taking (and still am, minus a couple) , I kept hearing footsteps on the backstairs leading to the second floor. I thought they were rather obvious but Shadow did not react to them. In fact, they got so obvious, to me, at least, That I finally armed myself. We keep the many outside doors to this place locked and the windows are located in such a way that it would be most difficult to enter that way. I have heard footsteps here m any times over the years; yet neither I nor my wife had heard any for several weeks. Now, all of a sudden I could hear them a bit too plain. Like I said, it may have been the medicine I was taking. The weather, here, has been cooler than normal and we have already had several thunderstorms. Perhaps I should set the spy camera up at the foot of the rear stairs but that stairwell is so blamed dark, even in the day time, I suspect the shots would be empty. Might do it anyway. Big old house are so much fun. If you ever get a chance to live in one for a few weeks, you really should give it a try.

Sorry for the long delay. I was hospitalized for a bit with a runaway heart. It is taking time to get back to normal; if I ever do. As soon as I feel able; I will again attempt to see what, if anything, can be gotten on camera.
