Trevor needs new friends!

On Monday night at about 2am we woke up to Benny barking. Dad got up to see if the garage was left open and racoons were getting into the garbage. As he went down the hall he heard the doorbell ringing. I got up then and looked out the window in the guest room to see what I could see. The doorbell was ringing over and over like someone wanted something quickly. I could hear voices outside that were quite loud and I could tell it was a man and a woman. I thought maybe it was the neighbors and they were drunk and had a fight because I could tell by the man's voice that he was very drunk. Dad opened the door and the guy who was drunk said that he had met our son and that he told him he could come and spend the night. He said he was an alcoholic and he could not go home like that. He was so drunk that he could not walk unassisted and was leaning against the house so that the bell would ring and ring. Dad said our son is in high school, are you sure it is him. This guy was in his mid 20's had his shirt off , had plenty of tattoos and piercings. It took dad several minutes to figure out what he was wanting of us, he was insistent but his speech was so slurred it was hard to understand. I was nervous about the whole situation and called 911 to have the police come check out these two. It is very upsetting to be awakened out of a deep sleep with someone ringing your doorbell in the middle of the night. The girl said she was sorry that they must have the wrong house and helped him back to the car that they parked on the street. It took her 10 minutes to help him back to the car, get his shirt back on and into the car. By then the police arrived and checked them out and let her drive away. Of course, we sat glued to the window waiting to see if they would let her drive. We didn't know about her sobriety. The police looked around in the car and asked them questions and let them drive away. Needless to say we did not fall back to sleep too quickly after that. We teased Trevor that he really needs to get better friends!

Well, if that was really Trev's friend, you would have had to explain why you changed your website from washburntrio.com to washburnduo.com. Or, who knows, if you let the guy in, you could have made it washburnquartet.com! Glad everyone's safe.

By the way, I just noticed that your background color for the blog is the same color as the purple driveway. Coincidence?
