Well the old Frank Sinatra tune has taken on a whole new meaning after what happened last night...after retiring for bed around 11 pm...the house was still and quiet (for a while that is)...Nolan had his usual "middle of the night" insomnia and got up for a banana and milk. He usually goes and lays on the love seat for a while, but Paige had fallen asleep on the love seat, so he went and laid on the sofa in the living room. About that time, Paige had woken up and I had gotten up to use the bathroom. Nolan told Paige to go back to sleep, but instead of going back to the love seat, she went downstairs to her room. I had no sooner got situated back in bed when I heard Paige come bolting up the stairs in a panic.
She ran into our room saying that there was a man looking at her through the window. Of course, I assumed she was just dreaming...but when Nolan heard all this, he came running back into our room. He opened our door that goes on to the back deck. After looking around for a minute...he ran back in and got dressed and ran out the front door. I then opened the deck door up and I could here him questioning some guy...I yelled out to him if I should call the sheriff...and he said no. By this time, I could see a car parked in our vacant lot (behind out house)...so I jumped in my vehicle and drove around out back. I was surprised to see a "kid" of about 18. He apparently did not know where he was or what he was doing here (or so he told Nolan)...he had lost his phone and keys. So...Nolan let him use his cell phone to call his mom...and then we waited...
Finally after about 30 min. his mom and dad showed up. After briefly talking to him (and apologizing to us) they all left (with his mom driving his car)...next day...Nolan found his keys on our basketball court. He called the mom who filled in more of the story. She said he said he had been out in PW with couple of girls (who had his phone and wallet, btw)...decided he shouldn't be driving and pulled into our lot. He says he knew Taylor (though she does not remember him), and that he was going to tap on her window to see if she could/would help him. Well, Taylor used to be in Paige's room, but they switched rooms about a year ago. So I guess when he saw that he had frightened Paige, he took off running (might have been when he lost his keys)....
Anyway...the rest is history...I'm just glad there wasn't a crazed madman outside Paige's bedroom window, LOL!
