makes more sense than typing it out at a quilting forum. Hopefully she is fine. Her last post mentioned male company/protection for the evening.

you pay for them to watch out for you when you pay taxes so use them

please call police! years ago someone tried breaking in to my home husband was at work we had been gone on vacation and burglars thought we were still gone, I called the police and took my husbands ,357 out and put my small sons under the bed told them to stay there and planted my self in front of the bedroom doorwith the gun , when police got there they had already broken the glass in the door and took off running police caught them from blood trail in snow from the broken glass of the door , have know ideal they would have done when they realized we were home if they had gotton in, just glad I called police!

Is it possible it was the wind blowing something against the house? I have a large back porch with several things on the wall of the house and the wind is always knocking on my house. Sure sounds like someone knocking. You need a cat or dog. Our cat perks his head up when he hears something strange. Makes me go look. Turn outdoor lights on and leave them on!

How are you tonight? Hope everything is better for you. If you hear another knock at the door be sure to call police immediately.

Take care of yourself

Hope things are better and someone is now there with you.

It's best to be safe than sorry. Never be afraid to call for help

Do take care. Glad you'll have someone with you and kids. That is scary.

call the police hide the kids and load the gun

Call the police so they can do a ground around check.
