You had to be there

First I want to say happy 4th of July (HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA)! It's generally not even noticed by us living in Germany. Today we did some yard work, and Juergen will grill some American burgers tonight.
Yesterday Sarah was ready to go to school. She gave me a kiss and told Juergen to give me a kiss too. He said he would give me a kiss later. To that, Sarah crossed her arms and legs, tossed up her head and said..."I'll wait"! Juergen and I laughed and laughed. I got my kiss too!!! You had to be there!

Today I was shopping with Nicole. We went to one store to return bottles and buy cheese for our burgers. Nicole had a shopping cart for the bottles. You stuff the bottles into a machine and get a piece of paper to take to the cashier. So Nicole walks up to the cashier with an empty shopping cart, and one package of cheese. The cashier gives her this look??? She came back to the car laughing her head off!!! It made me think about God. He says we can pray for anything at all (like we have a shopping cart). All heaven must be looking at most of us with the same strange expression...because we only ask for a small item like cheese. When will we dare to ask for a full cart?

Sarah is too funny!! I really liked your cart analogy! Derek is out of a job right now and we really want to move to Sacramento. He has been thinking he should just be praying for a job here, and that it that would be easier. But he has come to realize that Heavenly Father wants us to be happy and if we really want to move to Sacramento, that is okay!! We can pray for that too!! AND he just had an interview there on Thursday that went miraculously well!! I hope you enjoy(ed) (I'm not sure what time it is there) your American hamburgers!! We're having the same!!

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.
