Tomatoes and What a Night!

At our new home I decided to grow tomatoes. 

Being a city-girl I decided one tomato plant produced only two tomatoes a year so planted twenty-four plants!  We had hundreds of tomatoes! We canned and canned and gave tomatoes away and sold the surplus to the market!      

Shortly after moving in, at about 2 a.m., we heard unearthly sounds outside the bedroom window. Andy said he would investigate.  After waiting thirty minutes, and no sign of Andy, I made a search of the house then stepped outside, but could not locate him anywhere!  I feared the worse.

The horrible noises continued so after calling the police and telling them the situation I closed the bedroom door.  Moments later the phone rang.  Rushing to the kitchen phone I ran into a man in the hall!  He grabbed me as I hit him over and over in the chest!  The raspy voice said, "it's me!" but he did not sound like anyone I knew! 

Finally the voice sounded coherent, it was Andy!  Seems he fell asleep in the spare room and the phone woke him up.  He had never gone outside! 

The call was from the police verifying my earlier call.  Andy’s explanation that no one called did not convince the officers and they came immediately.  They checked our property for signs of an intruder, but could find nothing. 

What a night!!!
