So this afternoon I had just over an hour and half to kill before I had to go pick up my kids from school. I figured that was enough time to knock out the last two fence panels that I needed to get done and start dragging some of the pillars out from the shed to in front of the garage. So I get outside, pop open the garage door and get everything set up to get to work. As soon as I connected nail gun to the air hose and started to walk toward my work station I hear from across the road, "Yeah, I think he's in there." Here comes two door-to-door Mormons with unusually wide smiles on their faces. Now I don't know if they remember me a few weeks ago just before I started work on the fenced garage facade but I remember them. Anyhow, they came right up to the fenced facade and asked, "I just gotta know, is this for Halloween?" Of course I respond with, "Yes." And they start asking all kinds of questions, like what exactly am I building, what is it going to be, hey what is that in there (pointing into the garage), are you going to extend the display into your garage, is that a casket in there? All kinds of questions that I didn't exactly expect to hear from Mormons regarding Halloween.
I was quite polite with them but I was less than honest when they asked what my display was going to be. I wasn't going to say straight up, "Yeah, I'm going to put several corpses hanging on the wall here. And this casket is going to have a skeletal corpse inside. And you see that spot in the yard it is going to be for the Witch's Shack." I just couldn't do it, so instead I just said that my display would evolve each day depending on what I had time for. Not too far from the the truth but I found it quite funny to be talking with them about Halloween.
The one guy even asked if there was anything I needed help with. I said, no, that I was okay. I don't know if he would have really helped me carry the pillars from around back or not but if they come back in a few weeks and he offers again, I just might take him up on his offer.
