Living the Simple Life

How was your weekend?

It has been a very long weekend. We went to bed on Friday night and everything was so quiet and peaceful as usual I drifted right off to sleep. About 3 a.m. I woke up and went to the bathroom and was just about to get back in my bed when I heard a crash and saw a flash of light. I thought what on earth is going on outside? I went to the window and looked out into the front yard and saw a very large 4 wheel drive truck in my yard. I was driving very erratically backing up and going forward and backing up again. By this time my husband had woke up and was looking out the windows and turned on all of the outside lights, I was on the phone dialing 911. We have a county sheriff that lives the next road over about 2 miles away so it wasn’t long till we saw the red and blue lights headed down the road, as so did the guy in the truck. My husband wanted to go outside but the way this idiot was driving I was afraid for him to go out there and asked him to wait for the police. So the guy in truck gets freaked out by the lights all being on and the cop coming down the road and jumps out of the truck and takes off.

Lots of drama for living in the country, the guy had his dog with him and it was a full grown pit bull, I know the dog had to be afraid and bewildered by all that was going on but when he got out of the truck, he wouldn’t let my husband out our door or the sheriff out of his vehicle. Bo our Great Pyrenees by this time had run to the rescue and they were in a dog fight like I had never seen before. Long story short the sheriff had to shoo the pit bull or else Bo probably would have been hurt a lot worse than he was.

The idiot had evidently been out joy riding in the country turned down out road went off of the road, through a fence and into our yard, the truck had lost a tie road  off the front of the truck so he could not steer and get out of there. More police showed up and beer and drugs were found in the truck and later on that night the idiot was found hiding in a neighbor’s barn, yes you guessed it the county sheriff’s barn. And just think we loved to the country for peace and quiet! So how was your weekend?

Actually that sounds so funny.
Sorry.
It sounds like a comedy.
He actually hid in the sheriff's barn?!?
LOL
Thanks for praying for my daughter and grandson.
