Brendan got free tickets this September to an Astros game with Jeff McCormick. They had box seats and catering. He enjoyed himself immensely.
Labor Day weekend in New Braunfels, we had a great breakfast here with Jeff and Marissa McCormick.
The sock is his camera case.
We went to the
Ripley's Believe It or Not by the Alamo in San Antonio.
The best restaurant in the New Braunfels area is this place in Gruene, TX.
Karin's 27th birthday was in August.
Mom, Dad, Kenny, Jack, Leona and I went to Scotland for a week in July. This is the Scottish thistle.
Falkirk Wheel
A parliamentary building in Edinburgh. The black things are supposed to signify curtains drawn back from the windows.
We took a bus tour around Edinburgh with Julia Murray
Kenny and I spent the night in Julia's apartment.
A fitting name for this boat in Stonehaven.
Bet you thought this was my grandma Leona....I did.
Jack in Stonehaven.
It doesn't look like much of a hill does it? It is called Bennachie, not far from Aberdeen.
We finally made it to the top after 2 hours.
Kenny being Kenny.
A really cool flower I had never seen before called an Allium, I believe.
I like this picture of my mom at a castle called the Pittodrie House.

It is all done! If you don't remember what the front of the house looked like before, there are pictures in previous posts (2007).
Also added some small shrubs along the side of the house.
One of the two beds nearest to the street.
The right side of the house after planting and adding mulching.
Not all the grass had to be replaced, the deep green you see above is the grass that made it.
The right side has sod!
The narrow trench you see above is a French Drain (all the water that comes off the house is diverted to the middle of the yard (one on each side).
One side is ready for new sod!
Also took the opportunity to level the ground on one side.
