Bricking done and it looks awesome!! It will cure over the weekend and then trim and some other stuff gets done on Monday!! I'm getting excited about what to buy to put in there!!! haha  Jerry and I are going away for my birthday/25th anniversary/kids off to college for 4 days...he kind of just mentioned something about it and I didn't figure he was really serious, but he's made reservations and bought theatre tickets!!  I've been scouting out a couple of antique malls on the web for us to visit (I know he'll be thrilled)...maybe I'll find some treasures there for the sunroom!!   Some company gave Jerry 4 box seat tickets to a Cardinals game this month as well..it's like meet and greet night at the ballpark!! Maybe we can meet Pujols and Molina! Wouldn't that be a hoot?!!   On Monday Jerry is having a showing of the documentary Baghdad ER about the 86th CSH(his unit he deployed with to Iraq).  It was going to be just his VPs, but there's been so much interest he's expanding it out!   I can't wait to see it again..it's been like 6 years since I watched it...it's part of his "caring, compassion,going the extra mile, giving it all" thing. He's sneaking those military values in there!! haha   Depending on construction schedule I'm going to try to swing over on Wed or Thursday...we leave for St Louis on Friday and won't be back until Sunday...with the boys gone, I'm it for being here if they have to work inside.   Jeanie, glad your porch is progressing...and you're right, I have to feel like I'm moving forward..backward or stagnant is plain aggravating in the worse way...and I'm sure it's not tacky...I know you too well!! :)    Ok, off to check another couple of items off the to do list, before I have to start supper!!   Love you,  Jamie
