Gardener
I forgot to mention. My husband took me over to the conservatory/4 seasons/greenhouse vendors. Fingers crossed and eyes tight shut, looks like he's going to put one up for me!!!! Yes! If G-d's with me in this I'll be able to sit out in the sunshine in the dead of winter. Its going to go where the deck is where we had lunch at the garden party. We'll keep the lower deck where the grill is because the sukkah fits perfectly there. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I may even be able to get a greenhouse window in the kitchen and a bow window in the dining room out of this.
I know what you mean. I'd love to have a group trip up on the train but it would be too awful with the crowds. They do give group discounts though.
