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.
Honey & Abby in the backyard with Grandpa & Grammie
We have a guest “video taker” today as Grandpa took Abby and Honey in the backyard:
Grandpa took Honey in the back with Abby… and honey found it fun to dig a little in the mud in the backyard. Once Honey had her paws muddy, her fate was sealed. There would be a bath in her future, for sure. So, what the fudge (WTF)… go for it. Grandpa had to give both dogs showers. Abby & Honey are getting along much better now.
Christmas presents played with on New Year’s Eve day
Scarlett opened presents for Christmas on New Year’s Eve and then the next day played with Auntie Susan and Uncle Vincent.
Peter & Tiffany, Scarlett & Honey come home to Grandpa’s and Grandma’s
Peter, Tiffany and Scarlett and Honey come home on December 30th 2019. But Honey was left outside first with peter so it was not too crazy.
After a night of slight drama (just in case Auntie Sam ever watches this)… the dogs all get along. Penny, and Honey started Playing and then Abby eventually warmed up.
