It was December, and as she always does, Mommaw had decked the halls for Christmas! This included lights on the outside of the house. This year she had purchased herself one of those neat laser light projectors, and had received several compliments on the display.
After realizing she hadn't even checked out the lights herself, Beetle, who was home alone at the time, headed out the door at 10 pm to do just that.
[Sometimes, after supper, scraps are dumped out into the ditch. Foxes have been known to come get a snack from time to time.]
Well, Mommaw was checking out her lights, and as she was walking inside, she saw a creature in the ditch eating. She thought it was a big dog, so she hollered at it. The dog looked up. But, it wasn't a dog, it was a bear!
Just about that time, Bob came driving up the driveway, and the bear took off up the hill.
"Well, after that, I went inside and looked up on my iPad what you're supposed to do when you come face to face with a bear. You're supposed to be really still and not make any sudden movements. And you gotta make yourself look as big as you can."--Mommaw
[Mommaw is about 4' 11''.]
"Is that what you did?" --Curt
"What do you think? I about tore my toenails off trying to get back in the house!"--Mommaw
[Scraps are no longer being dumped in the ditch.]
