EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS*2013*7*22 Monday

Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home...Get in here where it's at least cool and dry. I guess I slept thru most of the bad weather today. Looks like we had almost an inch of rain while I was asleep. All the critters were in and sleeping along with me. 

BTW, Monty is ok. He came in when I called from the side door yesterday. Didn't mean to give the impression he was missing. My big red goofy dog, the Newbs, went missing about a year ago now. I'm sure he has passed.

I need to ask a question here... How come it is that I can proof read a dozen times and not catch the typo or wrong word in a paragraph until I've sent a copy to everybody? Duh meems! Sheesh! 

And before I get carried away again.. the pix below... First one is another of the 'Motley Crews' who reside in the courthouse... It's even/steven on who is ahead on the ''gotcha'' game... lolol Second pic was taken during the middle of the day during a torrential downpour...Our area was under a tornado watch. Then, there's the pic of the hole I shot thru the bedroom window screen. I used the .38 snub nose which was loaded with hollowpoints.

Now, don't panic... There were three guys out there to the east hunting... rabbits I guess. Well anyway, one of the men came over onto my property and had his dogs running in the uncut field. He didn't ask... nothing. Well, anyway, he was way too close to the house... 50 feet?... I got the .38... put the nose against the window screen... aimed and then pulled the trigger. I aimed into the clear ground. Well, the guy jumped. Cussed... and started yelling at me. I yelled back..."get off my property'' several times. I did hear him yell something like ''why didn't you come out and talk to us???''. Yeah, like I'm gonna go outside to warn a guy off my property. (Which is posted no trespassing, btw) Especially when there are 3 men out there with very long guns... They left but did a 'very slow drive-by' which down here in the mountains translates into a threat.

Anyway, Sherri reminds me of this event every once in a while... lolol Can you say ''giving this nice (flutter, blink the eyelashes) lil ol' lady a hard time''... Then again, she and the Marv will make these sly remarks about me looking for the dog in the Subway parking lot... lololol Now I've got the giggles...

Well, ratz! I'm out of room again but still have more words to go... Maybe tomorrow. Who knows...? Take care all of mine...go in safety always. Remember to be careful where you aim ... 

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter... meems
