I keep talking about how good these guys are, but I can't seem to say enough. I mean, these guys are GOOD! Believe it or not, we should be finished with the parapets by tomorrow afternoon! FINISHED!

Of course, that's when the real fun begins. I hope everyone has been taking their vitamins.

Well, I guess it had to happen. We have had our first run-in with one of our slithering bretheren. Or should I say Kim has. See, we're pretty far down the road, and she had to..well...make use of the prevailing facilities. You know - the woods. So as she assumed the position, she glanced over, and lo and behold, staring right back at her, was a foot-long copperhead! Gracioous beast that it was, it actually allowed Kim to finish without any threat. Of course, when Kim saw it, she probably finished a lot faster than she originally intended. Probably knew she'd have a lot of trouble finding someone to suck out the poison.

Jonny had to run back to Nashville to take care of some personal business. He should be back today, however. Has to do with him finally getting that elusive massage license. Wish him luck. When he gets it, we're all supposed to receive complimentary massages. Oh, didn't we tell him that yet?

Here are a few pix of the day:

Talk about an imposing sight! Doesn't this wall ever end? It just kind of disappears into the void beyond. When the morning fog cleared, we did actually see the end. This is the last parapet.









Here it is in all of it's glory. You can see why we were so excited to be seeing the end of the small walls. This is the one we should be finishing today.










Here is Sabrina, jumping right in where she left off in November. All the way from Texas. I'm still asking myself,"Why?" Great chalk lines though, huh?











Husband Reggie is getting an earful from much improved Mickie. Now that she's not coughing so much, she has to make up for lost conversation time. Tag, Reggie: you're it.
