She was your stereotypical crochety old lady busybody. She played Bingo religiously, visited the riverboat casino every chance she got, drank beer every day, and cussed like crazy, but I grew to love her in a fearful respecting sort of way. I always knew the neighborhood was watched with her on duty!<BR/><BR/>In fact, I didn't know she had died (happened very unexpectedly) two Christmases ago...and some man I didn't know showed up on my porch. He had read my writing and wanted to meet me. I only felt safe because I thought if he tried anything, she'd be 911-ing the cops so fast, he wouldn't stand a chance. (Turned out, he was harmless.) The next day I found out she'd died a few days earlier and was nowhere around watching when he showed up.Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-17076213267585692602007-07-11T09:41:00.000-07:002007-07-11T09:41:00.000-07:00I always keep my livestock loaded at all times.In ...I always keep my livestock loaded at all times.<BR/><BR/>In Greentown there is a man who lives along the railroad tracks who keeps cows and chickens... <BR/><BR/>I love it...

It's best to know what you're up against right up front, so you can avoid the 2 am police raids.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Janice, <BR/><BR/>There were quite a few places in Arizona and New Mexico that I wouldn't have minded lingering over.

This must be one more reason why I don't live in Arizona! <BR/><BR/>And I'm very glad that you didn't have to violate the livestock unloading rule...when I moved into my house 7 years ago (in town) the seller of the home informed me that there's a rule against livestock in the city limits. Apparently she'd temporarily housed a lamb overnight in the backyard and the neighbor (who knew every city ordinance) called the cops. So I've tried to keep my own interaction with livestock at a minimum.Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.com
