get her to open the door. She wouldn't and when she turned on the porch light she could see that they were wearing a mask.

She backed away and called 911. She then tried to call me. I was in the shower. When I got out I could see that she had tried 4 times within 4 minutes, with the last being about 5 minutes earlier. I feared she was having health issues.

By the time I called her the sheriff deputies had arrived. I could tell she was scared and told me what happened and wanted me to stay over. I hauled ass along with my shotgun and OO buckshot. When I got over there 6 units had arrived. Big shout-out to Bulloch County for the response.

I learned that there have recently been several home invasions in the area.

My mom will be 84 in September. She is physically frail but still sharp. A kind and gentle alumna of UF. She has a 38 spc colt agent and ammo, but never thought of, or even knew how to use it.

She does now.
