interesting night

We got into bed at around 10pm (later than normal:). About 10 minutes later I heard a helicopter circling around outside. I normally wouldn't think anything of it, but after it circled around for 10 minutes my mind really started to wonder. Of course by this point, Keith is fast asleep. After I hear Keith go into a snore I then hear the loud speaker come on from the helicopter. My heart was racing and all I could think was that they're looking for a criminal. I think my first words to Keith was "get the gun." We're very prepared in our house. We did our best to make sure our neighbors were aware and to make sure their doors were locked. Then I notice Keith is already outside across the street at our neighbors house chatting about what might be going on.
We eventually found out from a neighborhood watch person that an Alzheimers man had gotten lost in our subdivision. It makes me feel good to know our police would go to that extent to find someone. My dear neighbor and friend, Margo, called me to say her husband said "Tell them she's over here." We laughed.
