Fright Night?

I want to share my frightening New Years Eve experience with you. After our wonderful first annual New Years Eve party I said Good Night to Dallas and Emily and snuggled down in my trailer to read a little. I dozed off and was rudely awakened about 10:30 pm by someone pounding on the front of my trailer and shaking it violently back and forth. Needless to say, I was terrified. I was alone and had nothing to defend myself with except a small pepper spray canister. The closest house is Romulo and he was in town. I knew if I screamed, Dallas and Emily couldn’t hear me. All I could think of was the horror stories I had heard from all of my “do good” friends warning me to stay out of Mexico. I knew I would have to face my attacker or I would never get out alive.

So…armed with a flashlight and my little can of pepper spray and my heart pounding, I stepped out of my door and there HE was… a big cow scratching her back on the front of the trailer. After I regained my composure I chased her so far down the road screaming and yelling that I thought she would never return. Well…return she did. In the morning she had mowed down most of my flowers and some of Emily’s too! Dallas chased her through the gate about 5:30 am on New Years Day.
