I was cranky this morning -- not getting enough sleep will do that to a person! I was in bed AND ASLEEP by 10:30 last night -- and then the neighbors came home...
We have interesting neighbors. I'm not sure how many of them there are, at least ten and maybe even eleven. There are a couple of women, an older man, three males in their late teens or early twenties, a two-year old, a baby and a young girl. I think. They have a small, maybe nineteen foot, trailer. They back their SUV into the space between the rigs (I could reach out the window and touch it, it's that close.) and a couple of the guys sleep in the back of it. Then they put a blow-up mattress on the ground and some of them sleep there. They also have a pick-up which was parked on the grass alongside until the manager come by this afternoon and told them to move it off the grass.
They were gone all day yesterday and did not get back until a little after eleven. Then they sat outside, drank beer and smoked. And talked and argued and talked LOUDLY. Now, the park does have quiet hours that are from ten at night until seven in the morning. And it's way too hot to sleep with the windows closed...
I am always reluctant to say anything to neighbors, you never know how they will react. But finally about one AM, I went to the living room window and suggested that it was way past quiet hours and maybe they should hold it down a bit. Things got quiet after that and I finally got back to sleep.
At 4:30 I was once more awakened when one of the women came outside with her crying baby. When one of the guys asked her what was going on, she said she came outside with the kid because she "didn't want to wake her Dad!" She went walking with the little one up and down the road. I wonder how many other people they woke up?
We made a Costco run this afternoon. Forry procrastinated long enough for it to get late enough for him to have his favorite supper -- a Costco Polish dog!
