Hi Scott, and thank you for excepting my friendship request. LOL - I couldn't wait to get home, just ordered #2009 the Hospital, #51002 mealie bag straight wall set, and #2029 Defending the Wall. A modest start for sure, but its a beginning. Now I am fighting a war on two fronts, Hougoumont and Rorke's Drift.

I like your Basset Hound. I had to put my girl down last October, Heidi a German Shepard.
11 years old her hips gave out. I use to complain about always tripping over her, she was my shadow in the house, but you sure do miss it when does not happen anymore.

lol yes iv ordered pretty much all the gloss zulu pieces x3!!!! & iv ordered every redcoat that i have'nt got yet includeding 2 sets of the 45th Regiment Grenadier Company & 2 sets of the Hat company so a couple of expensive months for me to !!!!!
