This guy was a nut, and you could tell he was messed up on something, and talking crazy. He’d been going by in a car, back and forth, and Cheyenne and I were looking for arrowheads. Once he stopped, I went and got Dub off the tractor.
Since then, I’m more involved in what goes on around me.
Well, as you know, if we’re listening to our menfolk talk, they’re always making out that if anything happens, they’re going to save you. Well with this being said, I’d like to share a story with you that’s just too funny.
Gary, the guy who works with Mark, was spending the night with us. This was so Mark could pick him up the next day for work, without having to go all the way to Gary’s house to get him.
Gary’s worked for us for over three years, and helps Dub here on the place if they’re not paving. He’s spent the night with us several times before.
Gary and Cheyenne, our big and bad red nose pit (as you’ll see just a little later), were downstairs, and Dub was upstairs taking a shower. I was doing a cross word puzzle, laying across the bed, killing time until Dub got out, and we were going to take Cheyenne outside where she could use the bathroom.
All of a sudden Gary and I, heard a loud noise that sounded just like a gunshot, and close, very, very close! It sounded as if it was right at the window in the living room!
I hollered to Dub, I’d heard a gunshot close, and I took off down the stairs! Gary was already running up them, and he was all excited! He asked me, “Did you hear that?” I told him yes I had, and about that time Dub came flying down the stairs, asking had we heard a gunshot, and were we sure? Dub already had his rifle, and I’d brought down my gun and Gary a gun as soon as I heard the shot! I’m telling you, it was just right outside the house, and sounded like a cannon!
