Trying to figure it out

I did a sample add on Immoblien scott (an on line real estate site) today. I didn't post it yet, but figured out how to post an add with them. They cost 99 Euro for 3 months, but everyone reads their site. I have to finish packing and cleaning before I post anything. We also need to get the bathroom finished. They start the bathroom next week (God willing). The material for the new bathroom is in the garage, so my boxes are still in the living room. In fact we can hardly walk in the living room. I cleaned the top of the kitchen cabinets with bleach today. I also washed all the stuff I had stored up there. That's all packed away. I will get rid of some of it. And I scrubbed under the base boards. If I don't get a good price for my kitchen, I may just keep it. I'm afraid I also bought 6 more window boxes and flowers for those boxes. We have 3 balconies. I figure its good curb appeal to have beautiful flowers everywhere. So tomorrow I'll plan to plant window boxes. I'm also cleaning out a storage room so I can put boxes there. There is so much in my living room it feels like I'm making no progress. But I know that's not true!

You and Lissa are doing the same thing. Lissa and Nate made an offer on a home and hopefully it will close at the end of the month.
Not just you and Lissa, Bridget and Chris are closing on a new house too. They will be moving in May. This sort of reminds me of when we bought our house. Chuck and Jeanie and Dan and Sherrie also bought houses within a few months of each other. Rosie also bought a house about the same time, but I can't remember just when. Must run in families, this moving business. I know all of you are excited and I am excited for all of you. Mom

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 ...
