Earlier this morning, the dog starts barking and we look outside to see 2 police cars parked up here at the top of our driveway... parked like they were talking to one another.
Now our driveway is ¼ mile away from the road, and no one ever comes up here. And I’m wondering if they just needed to talk, they could have parked out at the end of the driveway. So I'm getting on my shoes to go innocently ask, “Is there anything I can help you with?” when they drive off.
Okay... so I still know nothing about that.

Then about an hour ago, one of the kids says, "Mama, someone is outside digging!"
And my mind thinks, "a dead body!" (lol)
So I look outside, and sure enough, there's a man digging next to the driveway. On the side away from the house, next to the woods.
Then as I'm getting my shoes on, one of the girls tells me another man came out of the woods, and that both men have machetes! So I tell my six-foot son JohnDavid to get his shoes on too, because I'm making sure he goes with me. And I take my cell phone.
Turns out they were surveyors, and some land next to ours is being sold. They were digging and hacking in the edge of the woods on the opposite side of our driveway, looking for the pin that marked the corners of the two tracts of land that are adjacent to ours. And of course they needed machetes. No other way one could get through some parts of these woods!
Turns out my MIL and FIL know the man whose land it is, and I'm sure my hubby does too.
Anyway, I told the men about the "dead body," and they laughed. =)
Still don't know why the police were here, though... I should stay alert, hmmm? =D
