building with garden sacks, or earth bags

Sarah and Juergen get to come home after her last shot of IV antibiotics. She had a very serious infection in her salivary glands. They do not know what caused it. It's good they treated it. Something like this could get into the jaw bone, and also cause permeate damage to the fecal nerves. So God willing she will be fine after this treatment of industrial strength antibiotics!
Juergen has to be on the phone most of the morning. They will have Sarah in the hospital school room. So I will not go to the hospital today. I'm trying to catch up on some cleaning and laundry. I also did a web search on buying Polypropylene Garden Sacks. I want a good supply of sacks to build raised garden beds, and retaining walls if we get the garden on the hill. I would love to make a green house from earth bags too. We will see! I'm really tired. It has been a long week. I've had very little sleep. The painters are still working on our house. They are almost done. Hopefully the scaffolding can be removed by Monday or Tuesday next week. It's taking longer because of the balconies. Sorry, but I didn't take pictures. Too stressed to think of it! I’m just so glad Juergen and Sarah will be home 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.

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 ...
