When You Move Remember to...

When you move remember to...
Change your address with the post office, let doctors and other facilities know your change of address and phone number, let friends and family know, and most importantly let your PO know if you have one.

After a few days of living in our new house a guy came to the door and Kamryn answered it.  He asked him his mom or dad were home and I came to the top of the stairs just in time. The guy was pushing the door open and had completely stepped into the house when he looked up and saw me.  He said oh, you aren't Ron and I said no he doesn't live here.  Her apologized and immediately walked out...lol. Very nice about it but this all could have been avoided had Ron let him know he moved.

A couple of days after that Kamryn answered another knock on the door and I hear the person ask if his dad was home and he said no my mom is and the guy asked to talk to me.  As I was walking down the stairs he looks up and said you are not the person I am looking for, does Ron live here and I said no.  He asked when we moved in and I said Friday, this was a Monday, and he said oh, well I guess I will look elsewhere.  He thanked me and left.  I felt sorry for Ron at this point because now is PO was looking for him.

Then this morning at 1:00 there was a knock on the door and I didn't get up right away because I wasn't sure I actually heard it.  I didn't know what time it was when they first knocked and I thought maybe it was my Mom and it was around 6 or 7.  Then the person RANG THE DOORBELL!!  Who does that at 1 in the morning.  Kamryn came out of his room at the same time I did and said someone was at the door and asked if I was going to answer it.  I was hoping that by ignoring it they would go away.  I knew that if it was someone I knew they would have called me not come ringing the doorbell at 1 in the morning.  Sure enough they knocked again but did that dat dat da dat dat, dat dat knock and I knew it wasn't anyone I knew.  I turned the light on and went down the stairs and opened the door a little.  This guy is standing there and asked if Ron was here, I said no he doesn't live here anymore.  He then asks me where he lives....LIKE I KNOW!!!  I said I didn't know I don't know Ron.  His response was Huh, ok thanks.  Then he walks off.  No apology or nothing!  At this point I am no longer feeling sorry for Ron I am hoping that his PO found him!! 

Morale of the story...remember to tell those that you associate with that you are moving!  Do not let someone else be the receiver of a door knock or doorbell ring at the wee hours of the morning!  Have a GREAT day!!

  1. this is rather funny in a way-Ron obviously has friends of some sort, I only hope they stay cool with you. Maybe you need to put a notice on the door saying "Ron does not live here, the new family does not know where he is." We had a few of that when we moved to our house, but the oddest part? The PO. Dorothy still gets mail for us and when we changed addresses, well..NOW we even get mail for them! bizarre.
