TGIF, Christmas friends!
I'm sitting drinking coffee and listening to Elvin Bishop. As Charlie Daniels said about him, "He ain't good lookin', but he shore can play."
We had a little excitement in Bellville last night. My sister-in-law called me at 9:30 to say that there were several guys loitering in Bernie's store parking lot. This unnerves Bernie & Hilda because they live right next door, and it's dark in that area at night. So, I got in my truck and went to the store. Sure enough, there were 7 or 8 young guys standing around. I stopped and asked them if they were waiting to meet someone, and they said they were. I went inside the post office (which is attached to the store), and when I came out, they were running up the street. They ran to the school parking lot, not far from my house, and got in the back of a couple trucks and took off. I followed them to see what the deal was.
By that time, lots of folks were out on the porches to see what was going on. Someone called the sheriff, and he stopped the boys. It seems it is Homecoming weekend at their school, and one of the football players lives in Bellville, so they came to "bathroom-tissue roll" his house. LOL Don't they know to do that LATE at night?! I'm one of about three men under 70 in Bellville, and most of the population consists of widows, who are easily frightened.
I hope the boys didn't get in trouble, but they really should wait until everyone is asleep to do that kind of thing!
Taking Elizabeth to dance tonight. I hope y'all have a great day!
