Getting ready for our vacation

Juergen has to work up to the last minute. The whole responsibility of packing and cleaning falls to me. This means doing all the laundry, emptying all the trash, watering plants, and trying hard to clean. With 5 kids in the house, it always seems like cleaning in a windstorm. You clean only to turn around and see it dirty 5 minutes later. Life "moves",life never stands still! I'm happy we will be getting away for a week. I hope for rest and a good family time. We have very good memories from vacations in the past. Somehow getting away helps all of us relax and draw closer together. OK, back to work. I will bring my laptop with me and I hope I can blog. I'm not sure the house we rented has Internet access. If you don't hear from me, look for an update next week. God bless you and keep you close to His heart.

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.
