I am a HERO

I just found out that I am someone's hero and it made me smile! For those of you who do care, I have not forgotten about this blog, there have just been a lot of goings on. After the MANMAN show, I lost my Chang Wang button and I was really upset, but we finally found it about a week later in Victor's car. So, they no longer rest on my purse, but now in my jewelry case, so as not to have another mishap.
This Wednesday is the GOGOL BORDELLO concert that I have been awaiting for months. I am still disappointed I never got to see them when they were touring with MANMAN, but I am excited to see them in two days. I am kind of nervous about the show because I have a feeling there will be a lot of crazy people there.
In the realm of my personal life, I have been working on a lot of projects over the summer, trying to finish them before school starts again in the Fall. We built a doghouse for Duncan, complete with shingles. We are working on a rain barrel system right now, to use rain water for the garden. The barrels are done, but we need to house them and build something to hold them up, so they don't fall and to cover them up, because they are ugly. I've also been working on painting my new apartment, which isn't so new after 5 months. I'm still getting my Nightmare Before Christmas display all put together so that it can be up all year.

So here are some pictures from my Summer activities. Here is my Pappy's 90th birthday. It was a western theme because he is from Texas and the picture in the back ground is him at age 4.



Then we had a Luau at work:



Then it was Father's Day. Here is a card I made for my brother Chris. I forgot to take pictures of the card I made for Sam. Perhaps he will send some to me . . . .





I planted a lot of plants this summer in my new yard:




I built a composter, that's it in the corner by the fence:




Here are pictures of the rain barrel:
