Excitement on the hill

Last night we received a call that two escaped prisoners were on the loose and thought to be in our area. The car they had stolen was off the road in the ditch not far from our house and they were to be considered armed and dangerous. Well, as you can imagine...that sent me into a tizzy...I was ready to head for the hills...but wait...we are already on the hill...so maybe we should head for town...except I don't want to open the door and step outside for fear someone might be waiting for me to open the door and step outside. So what should we do??? My dear hubby very calmly goes outside to lock everything up...while I (with phone in hand ready to dial 911 when the bad guys get him) proceeded to cover the windows with blankets. smart, right??? that is just what hubby thinks when he gets back in (the bad guys didn't get him) "What ARE you doing?" were his exact words I think. "I am covering the windows, I don't won't those armed and dangerous bad guys looking in here at me, do you?" was my reply. It made sense to me and made me feel a little better, so he knew better than to question me any further, he just helped me finish covering a window and then went to bed, where we just lay in the dark and waited for the bad guys to come get us. We saw several search vehicles drive by with search lights on and a while later (it seemed like an eternity but really was a very short time in the scheme of things) got the call they had found them on the dirt road that curves around and comes up beside our house (boy, am I glad they got 'em before they got me!) So that is the most excitement that we have had for a while around here and I am glad it is over! I am probably making it sound worse than it really was but I was SCARED!!
