last night

Last night was great! We had 3 different families join us to cheer in the New Year. We eat dinner, did some dancing, had a fun time of worship, and took communion before shooting off some fireworks. Juergen and Nicole played guitar together and the kids played drums and bells. This was my favorite part of the night. I'm thinking the kids should bring their instruments to the worship service once a month during our family service at church? They were so into it. I love that! I also loved having communion together at midnight. I haven't had communion at New Years for a long time. I want God to take the "Staring" role in my year. I even took the bread and grape juice up to Jessica’s room and prayed with her shortly after midnight as the fireworks were going off. That was very special to me. I'm so grateful to God to have friends. Each one is a precious gift! The time went by very fast because we were having a good time. That's not easy when you have kids...but so special when it does happen. I only took a few photos. My camera is acting up. I may need a new camera. I'll edit this short slide show if I receive more photos from my friends. God bless you in 2010. May your heart be full of peace, and may you know the love and grace of God. He really is our hope and help.

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 help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
