the last words spoken by famous people

Nicole and I are listening to the one year Bible every night together. The speaker mentioned the last words of The Queen of England Elizabeth I, who died in 1603. She said,"All my possessions for a moment of time".I thought this was profound! Both Juergen's parents are very ill. It makes me realize how fast this life is flying by. My eye's don't work as well as they once did. I have to color my graying hair. My baby daughter is taller then I am. My possessions don't seem so important to me anymore. I looked up some other dying words of famous people. Some are profound, others funny and others sad.

Beautiful.
In reply to her husband who had asked how she felt.
~~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning, writer, d. June 28, 1861


I'm bored with it all.
Before slipping into a coma. He died 9 days later.

Damn it . . . Don't you dare ask God to help me.
To her housekeeper, who had begun to pray aloud.
~~ Joan Crawford, actress, d. May 10, 1977


Why do you weep. Did you think I was immortal?
~~ Louis XIV, King of France, d. 1715


I am a Queen, but I have not the power to move my arms.
~~ Louise, Queen of Prussia, d. 1820


Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.
~~ Pancho Villa, Mexican revolutionary, d. 1923


Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.
~~ Oscar Wilde, writer, d. November 30, 1900


I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.
~~ Leonardo da Vinci, artist, d. 1519

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.
