HELLO?

Is it me you're looking for?


Whenever John walks into the house he bellows out " HELLO ? "
Sometimes I'm expecting it and I simply say hello back
But sometimes I'm concentrating on something and don't even hear the door open - so that booming
" HELLO ? " can almost give me a heart attack.
Seriously - I just about jump out of my skin !


Now you have to keep in mind that this could mean just going outside to rake - it's every time he walks in whether it's because he's been on a business trip ( which is perfectly understandable)
or whether he just ran out to the store.

So I thought he'd LOVE this sign !
I ran outside while he went to Home Depot and promptly put it on..............and waited


and it worked !
this time he didn't belt out HELLO !
instead

John says - WHY DOES IT SAY HELLO ON THE FRONT DOOR????
Suzan says - I find it welcoming - and now you don't have to worry about saying it every time you come in !
John says - The mat say " WELCOME " - the door says " HELLO "  what's next - are the windows going to say " HOW ARE YOU " ?

He's dead serious when he says these things.
I - on the other hand - am doubled over - he has no idea how hilarious he is.

Later on when we were watching t.v. - out of the blue

John says - Maybe you should put " GOOD - BYE " on the inside of the door.
Suzan says - Maybe I should put " DON'T LET IT HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT "
John says - Nah - that would just be rude.............I'm not rude
Suzan says - HELLO?

Have a great day everyone !
I'll be spending a good part of it untangling lights because I never learn to put them away properly.
Hugs,

  7. Your John sounds like a precious man.....
    In Yorkshire do they use the word "summat"? Ask him will you.

    I'm about to paint my new front and back doors and I love your 'hello" sign.Think I'll use it on my front door. Great idea. Thanks.

  9. HELLO there, Suzan!!
    I'm like you! My husband startles me when all of a sudden he appears in the room and starts talking to me. Get this-------HE gets MAD at me because I was startled! First words out of his mouth are: " I don't know why you get startled, it's not like I don't LIVE here!" He's also going to give me a massive coronary one day with his sneezes! I'm waiting for the day that someone in the next county yells back: "God Bless You!" I asked him if he could control the volume, and he said no because the sneeze just sneeks up on him, and he doesn't think that trying to hold it so that the volume is any lower would be healthy!
    All I know is, it would be awfully quiet without him here!
    That's funny about the Christmas lights---I know I learned how to put them away, it's just to much work to do it correctly! Ha!
    Have a great week!
    XOXOXO,
    Laura/Hazel

  10. Well Hello Suzan! What a neat idea. At first I thought it was a nod to Adele's new hit song, which I LOVE. Don't you? :) Hope you have a great week! xo

  11. Suzan,

  12. Great idea, the hello. So is don't let it hit you on the way out on the inside! I really like that. Truly inspirational!!

  13. First of all, now I have Lionel Richie's song stuck in my head (good thing I like that song!), secondly, y'all are too funny, and thirdly, I love the hello on your door! I want my door bright red instead of the dull red it's painted and then I want it to say "hello". Where'd you get it? Thanks for the smile today! Hugs,
    Cecilia

  17. Love the Hello on your door!! Your red door is so pretty!!

  18. LOL, that's good. So Suzan, I'm thinking by the fact that you worded your door means that the red is staying! Yes?
    P.S. Next errand John makes, you should word the front windows. He doesn't need to know it's temporary.

    1. The jury is still out on the front door Marie - I LIKE it with all the Christmasy stuff around it - not so much when all that's gone LOL
      XOXO

  19. Hello? (I'm aloud to because I've been away for a while)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Now when I see "hello" I don't know where to hum Lionel Richie or Adele!
    This is really cute but I think you should go for the "goodbye" on the inside too - that would be so much fun!

  23. So funny! I love it! What a beautiful door to greet you on your way in!

  24. My husband is the opposite. He never announces himself and just walks in. That is scary! All of a sudden I see a big man creeping in the house, and I have to double check to make sure it's him. I keep asking him to say something, but he thinks I should just assume it's him and not freak out. Men! :) Love the door!

Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
