153 ~ The Gun Shot

By Kay Heitsch

Grandma and Grandpa Z lived in a small home in a quiet neighborhood. When Grandpa Z was alive, he had a big garden behind their home and also one across the street.

Grandpa loved flowers, so there were flower beds around the house. They also had pear trees in the backyard. I can tell you these were the best pears I have ever eaten.

As Grandma Z aged and Grandpa had died, only the pear trees were left. But Grandma continued living in this home.

One day, while Grandma Z was in bed, she heard a loud noise above her head. She had no idea what it was.

Since she was on her walker and now partially blind, she called her neighbor, a retired sheriff, to come over and see what was going on.

Lo and behold, there was a bullet hole in her bedroom wall above the bed, and it went straight through to her bathroom wall above the toilet. If Grandma had been sitting up in bed or sitting on the toilet, she would have been shot!

This was pretty scary! To my knowledge, I don't know if they ever found out who shot the gun. They figured someone must have been target practicing. Pretty obvious, they weren't a good shot!

However, even after this scary experience, Grandma Z continued living in that house for several years until she went to the nursing home.
