He goes over and I see her usher him in. He comes back maybe 10 minutes later.
First things first, the guys are roofers and supposed to be there. (We’d already looked up and down the block already for a roofing or a chimney truck and didn’t see one).
So while he’s in there she says to him, “Oh, I didn’t know anyone new lived across the street (meaning us) I thought it was still coloreds.” She then proceeds to point out the other white families on the block including the lesbian couple that moved in the year before us and says, “You know the two, what are they nuns?”
She then asks when did we move in? He says two years ago. She then says, “I’ve been here since 1953 I paid $8,300 for this place. You know what it’s worth now?” He says, “I have a good idea since we paid $…..” She laughed and said, “$…..?? Ha, sucker!”
O.k., so we notice some guys up on her roof just wandering about and looking out at the Manhattan skyline. The building that’s next door to hers is a small apt. building that’s being gutted and reno’d. Workers are there but not regularly and there are windows maybe one story above her roofline. So I say to him, go knock on her door and make sure those guys are supposed to be up there. We’d never met her but we know she’s really old and alone.
THL, is your husband trying to pay your mortgage off quick and working his way up to a townhouse in Brooklyn since he is having “encounters” with 90 year olds?
“Ha, sucker!”
Yep, she’s a cougar.
Can you imagine? He siad I almost choked I was biting my tongue so hard.
I can’t wait to call up the nuns down the block later tonight and tell them all about our delightful little old “shut-in” neighbor.

Here’s an example of our government still hard at work…
“Atlanta Fed Failed to Rein In Speculative Loans, Inspector Says.”
The inspector should get an employee of the month award.
