Whew! What a Summer it's been!

Hey guys!

Sorry for such a long delay between this post and last. It's been a pretty hectic summer!

I've been organizing, packing, calling, and e-mailing all over the place as I get ready for my transition from a living-at-home-with-my-parents college undergraduate to a moving-out-on-my-own LSU Veterinary student!

Needless to say, it's been extra-special nuts!

On the live-horse front, Valentine is doing well, but we've sent two horses away this summer. Sasha has gone to live in Oregon to help with her COPD, and Cher, the sweet little pony, and daughter of the first equine I ever rode, was sent to the Greener Pastures this past weekend after a good fight with laminitis and age. We'll miss your attitude, your kisses, your need to constantly be beneath the hose, and the way you ruled your horses. Love you, Cher.

On the home front, besides the packing and organizing, I'm finally getting around to making my pony pouches! Yay! Just in time for storage... >.< *sigh* Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Then on the painting front, I've almost completed five more horses! Three commissions and two donations. I'll post here and to my Yahoo group when the donations go up for sale. They're both for TIBBP - The International Blessed Broodmare Project -- an organization filled with wonderful people who are simply trying to move mountains, one bucket at a time.

I also have some new customs in the works, as well as a few painted resins and an original sculpture in the works! I'm hoping to get most of them done before my semster begins mid-August! Wish me luck!

Anyway, that's pretty much it for the update!

Hope everyone is doing well!
