It's been a long night, and I still have to get up in 3 hrs and begin cooking. Christmas Eve 2018 was one for the records here at my place...
Last night, #4 son and his wife came over, he cooked a great Chicken/Sausage gumbo..my eldest sister came over to eat with us, and we had just begun eating when I heard heavy clumping footsteps coming up the 7 porch step. My daughter in law made some remark about "Santa's come for gumbo.....and about that time heavy knocks on the door, and just as I get up, the door comes open and it's a neighbor standing there in a white tee shirt, with a big blood stain on his shirt, about where your right side liver begins................."Bill shot me" and he plops down in a chair. The guy had walked 350 yards to my house. I call 9-11 and gave them directions and tried to find out what happened, but none of it made sense at the time.
The sheriff beat the ambulance here by 20 minutes (sheriff lives about 2 miles from me) . I had already got the guy laying down, and while moving him, I see the exit wound blood stain on the back of his shirt.
Too tired to finish this right now, but he did get transported to the hospital ok, and I assume he will live and can say, it was all over some bad hay, & sick horses.
