The Night we fled the Cottage in Terror



Sharon, Diane and Renee, This is the cottage we fled with butcher knives drawn, when, one dark, eerie summer night Marie thought she heard a prowler circling the cottage. We ran frantically from the cottage to the car, screamed to each other to lock the car doors and miraculously escaped stabbing each other.   I laid on the floor of the back seat of the car shouting out the rosary as we tumbled all over each other on our way around the lake to the farmhouse where our Grandpa TJ O’Donnell was staying with other family members. TJ was annoyed as hell when we woke him up in the middle of the night.  Sharon and I refused to go back to our tiny cabin in the woods and stayed the rest of the night in the farmhouse. Brave Diane and Renee and my Aunt Marie went back to the cottage with the Prowler! I believe my Dad and or Uncle Bill Foulkes went back with them to make sure the coast was clear.  This was an event in my life that stuck securely and clearly in my mind!!
