Usually, it's pretty quiet where we live. There are a lot of woods around, and traffic is limited to typical times when people are heading to work or school, but usually isn't too bad even then. But once a year, in the fall, the church nearby holds a bar-b-que. It's a huge event - likely their major fundraiser of the year - and as such, they make a big "to do" over it. They start with a family fun night on Friday, then the men spend all night cooking up the bar-b-que in their large parking lot. It smells great, but there are two problems: it draws a lot of traffic, and they make a lot of noise. Especially on Friday night, with their music and PA system. Thank goodness they shut down at a decent hour, but it's still disrupting.
Thankfully, the event is over now, and it wasn't too bad. Still, we were a bit on edge last night and this morning from all of the noise, and traffic up the road. But it is good bar-b-que. And it's only once a year, so we can handle it. But I'm still glad it's over and it's quiet again - finally! Because their big Halloween pumpkin sale doesn't generate quite as much noise or traffic as the bar-b-que does. Or revenue, I'll bet :)
Oh well, Zack said it's still not as bad as Halloween in a neighborhood. He claimed the mooches rang the doorbell and pounded on the door wanting candy for hours. That sounds awful. I'm glad mommy and daddy moved away from there before they adopted me and Chloe. If it's that or putting up with a little noise from the annual family fun night and bar-b-que, I'll take fun night and bar-b-que.
That's all today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Luv,
Ollie
