Default You had to see it to believe it !

It's 2:30 p.m. A home on our block is having the roof replaced by Batterbee roofing. Heard a loud thud, was not sure where it hit, but not on a window. Lot's of laughing and shouting. When I looked out it was the CREW from the house being roofed, they were playing soccer, yes, playing soccer in the street from the house they were working on (?) to the middle of the block. I could not believe my own eyes. Definitely DO NOT deny these VERY hard working people deserve breaks and some stress release time. We recently had our roof replaced and both days I gave the crew hot coffee and donuts, and also small gift cards for each to buy a lunch, but this soccer match. with the ball going hither and yon, was pretty bizarre sight. Had quite a few roofing companies working in our villages, never saw anything like this ! Have seen some getting a short nap under a big oak, sharing food, checking cell phones, etc. but this is a first !
