Oh my goodness! That must have been awful!
Fortunately we are not anywhere near a busy road. We have the dirt road that we live on, we own the only two houses on it, and then at the very end, the road that it leads onto is not busy at all.
Put it this way, when my friend was here and Jacob stopped playing and got excited because he could here a truck, she told me that we live too far out in the country! LOL

I'd love to live that far from a busy road. The house where I lived when this happened was about 50 feet from a main state highway that crossed a dam over the Tennessee River, so there was always traffic on it, even in the middle of the night. A lot of it was log trucks going to and from a paper mill on the other side of the river. Sometimes I would swear that they were driving right through my living room, especially if they decided to use their jake breaks. I always thought that was an incredibly rude thing to do in a residential area. I still live fairly close to that same highway, just 20 miles or so further south. There's not near the log truck traffic, but I live very close to a county school, so I get that traffic. Baseball and Softball season has started and there's a crowd out at the fields nearly all the time. In the fall, it's peewee football. But, it's a nice community. My husband grew up there and everybody knows everybody else, and who their Mama and Daddy is, and who their Grandma and Grandpa are and so on forever. So you'd better not do anything wrong or somebody's gonna know it and tell. ;o)
