Day 2 of Roof installation
This is the second day of the roof installation. The crew showed up at 7:30 am and started banging away. It was a pretty day, with a full moon still in the background, and many clouds.
Day 1 of Roof install
This is Day 1 of the Installation. There were 6 people on the crew,
They started around 7:30 am and some went home after thunderstorm around 5. A few stayed until about 7:30 pm.
I actually caught a lightning flash on the movie titled “with lightning”. You will barely notice a flash on the camera, they you will hear the scream of one of the workers, and then you will hear the thunder for a long time. The roofers worked through the day.
Polite, courteous, hard working.
Supplies delivered for roof
This is Day 1. Shingles and other supplies being delivered and placed on roof.
Giant Sunflower and Flower tour
There is one Sunflower that really grew bigger than any other.
It rained a few days and the flower opened up quickly.
Squirrel and Garden Tour
We have three friendly squirrels that eat the seeds in the bird feeder. Here’s one that I caught off guard… “he” had to figure out where to go.

Florida Box Turtle after a rain storm
We had a bunch of rain pretty quickly, and that scrapped the SpaceX launch. It’s been raining for two days straight, and wildlife is trying to stay dry… and frogs are doing their “thing” making baby frogs.
When I went outside to search for tadpoles for Scarlett, I found a Florida Box turtle hanging out waiting for the rain to stop.
Abby sees Lizard in Pool and new Garden Tour
Abby found a lizard in the pool and you can watch while she gets close. Then Grandpa gives Auntie Sam and Scarlett the tour of the flowers.

This is a collection of plants that Scarlett and Grandpa planted… and Samantha and Grandpa planted.
Since we live in Florida and we have deer, the deer and Grandpa are working out how to determine their menu.

Auntie Sam starts Marine Crucible
My Auntie Sam starts her last main test before becoming a marine.
At around 2:00 am Eastern time, on Thursday morning 01/30/20, her November 18 2019 Platoon starts a 54 hour, 45 mile, sleep deprived military exercise/ challenge called the Crucible. Grammy built a shrine… lots of parents do. Samantha will complete the course, no doubt, on Saturday around 8:00am February 1 2020
The drill instructors go from yelling and intimidating, to yelling and intimidating and encouraging… I have read. This is a once in a lifetime experience, if you don’t have to do it over. Those that complete this “Crucible” are then called Marines… for real.
