I was at the grocery store getting some lunch for Patty and I. Patty called and was talking quietly, saying someone was coming in the house and then after a few seconds the phone went silent. I was about a mile and a half from home by the highway, but only bout a half a mile if I cut through the road that goes through the cemetery. You KNOW what I did, 60 mph down this one lane gravel road. got home and had my Emerson Karambit out as I went through the door. I cleared the living room and kitchen and started down the hallway when I saw Patty in the bathroom. She had just layed the phone down without hanging it up (she thought she had hung it up as I had told her on the phone I would be right home).

Come to find out, a neighbor had come by and dropped off some news papers he reads and WAS going to leave them just inside the door cause he thought we weren't home, but decided to just leave them hanging on the outside of the door. Needless to say, from now on if I leave for anything the door will be locked EVEN when Patty is home.

I am proud of one thing, she didn't hear me come in the door.
