911

9/11 Pictures, Images and Photos

I had just dropped the kids off at a giant indoor park to play. Nicole is watching them. I drove past the US Military housing and the NATO base in Heidelberg. There was a very large wreath of fresh flowers in front of the NATO base. Then I remembered it is 911. Of course my mind started to flood with the emotions of that dark day. It took me weeks to actually sleep through a night. We unplugged our TV for 2 years because the news only feed my fear. Today I feel "normal" again. Still I know it wouldn't take much to cause all those feelings to resurface. The truth is I've stored all that anxiety on the back shelve of my memory bank. It is all there...I will never forget it. My live goes on...but I'm changed forever.

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.
