Sun at last

I'm having a much nicer day today. I spent a few hours with the kids in the garden. We needed to cut all the rotten grapes down. They were falling on the ground and making an awful mess. Sadly the rain ruined the whole crop. But my kiwi's still look good, and so do the figs. I guess I'll be making allot of jam next month. We pulled all the weeds, and swept the walk way. It looks great. The best part was the sunshine. The sky is finally blue, and I got 2 hours of sun. I really think I suffer from depression from a lack of sunshine. I need to look into buying some full spectrum lights. Nicole told me they think we will have a warm Fall. That will be so great! I would be so glad just for the good weather!
After the work, Juergen took Thomas, Philip, Sarah and Nicole to see the film "Cat's and Dog's 2". I took Jessica out to lunch. I guess the movie was good. I haven't heard any details yet. Jess was the perfect lady in the restaurant. She turns 19 on Wednesday. Thomas turns 13 tomorrow. Juergen is taking Thomas to Toys R us to pick out his gift. He has saved some money, we give him money, My parents sent money (it got here today...and the card was so thoughtful I cried), and his Opa also sends money. He should be able to buy some really good LEGO. Juergen leaves tomorrow morning after breakfast. He has a business trip to India. I'm glad Thomas got to go to the movie today, and will have LEGO tomorrow. I'll also make him his favorite lunch. He will have a nice birthday. The party with friends will come later, after school starts. I will be taking Jessica out again on her birthday. She loves to shop. I'm hoping to invite her teachers too. Juergen will buy her something special in India. She is so beautiful and all grown up.

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.
