Juergen and I finally got our breakfast out (for our anniversary). We found a nice cafe with a breakfast buffet. We were the only ones there. I am very confused about life. I want a bigger garden. I actually do not want to move. I guess I'm not confused about that! Thomas is finally making friends at school, Nicole is in her last two years of school, Jessica may get to stay an extra year in her school (I'll write more about that). We want to be even more involved in church. I could go on and on. The one thing I'm not confused about is I feel good where I am at and I don't want to change that. What I want is a garden. I know I could not protect it if someone wanted to rob my garden, but I think I should stop looking at houses and just try to find a garden to rent or buy. Maybe if I found the perfect house in this area...maybe I would move? But for now I just can not see it! I like my house, my neighbors...I only want a bigger garden!

So Jessica’s teacher said Jess may be able to stay one extra year in school. She loves her school and her teachers. I felt so sad when I learned this was her final year of school. Now they say that she maybe able to stay one extra year. That would be such an answer to prayer. Please pray that this could work out!

Nicole begins taking singing lessons today. We are so honored that she can take lessons with Johannes Falk. He is a very gifted person. Here is samples of Nicole’s singing teacher.

I think hydroponics is the answer for you can grow vertically indoors somewhere not taking much space and year round where you can keep an eye on it.
You can get a system for around $300 to $400 dollars, or go on u-tube and build a fish tank hydroponic system for growing lettuce.

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 ...
