When I get old




I was laying in bed this morning, an Nicole brought me my coffee! It will be awhile until I can enjoy a cup of coffee in bed. Tomorrow our two week Christmas vacation is over,and the kids go back to school. I need to get up with Nicole at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. Nicole had listened to the news on the radio. She said they are predicting 2007 will be the hottest year ever recorded. They expect the extreme heat in Paris that they have had the past two summers. Thousands of people (mostly old people) died alone in their apartments from the heat over the past two years. This isolation is a curse of "modern" society. Germans also have a negative birth rate. 40% of all Germans say they want no children at all. What so many of them fail to think about is no children means no one to check on them when they are old. They spend all their time and money on themselves...but they are looking at a lonely isolated future were there is no one to claim their body when they die alone. The only ones having kids in Europe are the Muslims. What will Europe look like in 50 years if the Christians stop having children, and the Muslims keep having 6 kids? What a crazy world we live in! Millions of children are left alone (orphans) due to aids. They have nothing, and know one to educate them, feed them, or love them. At the same time, the western world is having no children,and selfishly spending every dime upon themselves! Sorry this post is so negative...it is just what I am thinking about today. Children (even kids that need to get up early in the morning) are a blessing from God. Some times I feel very alone in this belief!


"Look what you've done!! I'm melting, melting."

"Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world"!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
