Frankie persevered, and Barbara realized the beautiful opportunity she had to share Frankie and give others hope and inspiration to be the best they can be.

Bookworm Gardens
This is an amzing project happening right in the county that I live in. And it is my humbled honor that I will be a part of this garden (thank you to my sponsors, The Richardson Foundation & David and Lynda Richardson). My papa will be constructing my dog house, which will be featured in the garden, along with a stone replica of a dachshund fitted in a Eddie's Wheels cart that we donated (and that Eddie's Wheels gave us a special price on). Stay tuned for photos later this summer.
My papa is involved also with Sheboygan County Home Builder's and is heading up the Charlotte's Barn project being built at Bookworm Gardens. I'm so proud of him for being a part of the volunteer efforts to make this garden a reality. Here is a photo of the beginning process of the barn. Maybe Charlotte will make a special appearnce to thank them for their hard work!
