In San Diego

We are in San Diego at my best friend Cindy's house. We basically just took our time getting here yesterday. We are pretty tired still. The big job yesterday was shopping for all the small things Nicole still needed for her trip. She needed building supplies, some food stuff, medical supplies and so on. The list is complete and she is ready to go to Mexico on Saturday. Today Cindy is taking Nicole to a prophetic art class. They are painting art that has a prophetic meaning. I can not wait to see what she paints. The class is only 4 hours so I stayed behind to call Juergen and read and pray. It feels wonderful to be here. Cindy and I have been best friends for about 20 years. I miss her so much. I really don't care much about what we do, it's just being with her that matters. I feel the same way about my family in Oregon. I look forward to being home! Sorry for the lack of photos. Cindy has a very old computer. Maybe I can load some pictures when I get to Oregon? Juergen and kids: I miss you and send you a very big hug and kisses!!! Today is the first day of summer vacation. Have a great time getting ready for camp. Be good for Papa. I love you!!!

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.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
