It would have been nice if you had contacted Dianna and I to see if there was any plans.

Dianna has been planning for a long time and I have been working on things, but it's ok!

Don't kick yourself.

I know you were caught up in the excitment.

I hope you guys have a great time.

I'm looking forward to celebrating my birthday with Betty.

She was Kay's friend, her birthday is also Sunday. Dianna takes Betty out to lunch every year on her birthday.

She doesn't have anyone and is in a nursing home.

I'm glad I can be part of making her Birthday special on Easter.

I've never liked big fan fare and the focus on me, but rather enjoy just being with the people I care about.

I wish I could have Leo and Carmen and all my family but that's impossible, because of distance and work, and other plans.

I know Dianna wanted to be a big deal because she care's so much, and she was more disappointed than I.

I told her it is ok.

I'm glad I have you to celebrating with me.

I'm thankful that everyone has jobs, that they are doing well for the most part.

I pray you have a wonderful Easter with Dad and Mom.

I know it's hard for you to be away from family and that you miss out on the family gatherings year after year.

So I'm glad you can have family this year.

Maybe we can SKYPE AFTER Easter when things are not so busy.

I hope you enjoy the Tulips.

Maybe you can pick up some tulip bulbs and send some home with Dad and Mom.

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 ...
