the work cont...

I am not feeling very good today. Juergen has a bit of a cold and he passed it on to me. But the work still continues. I cleaned out the refrigerator and also washed and organized the inside of one kitchen cabinet. I'm not really sure we will sell the refrigerator with the kitchen. But I wouldn't want anyone to look inside it and see something green and moldy walking out. Actually, it wasn't that dirty. I cleaned it a month ago. The bathroom tile is going up today. They want to work late to get it done. I don't know if they will finish it today...but this week! God willing, it will be done this week! I wash my hair in the sink. I give myself a sponge bath. We haven't had our bath tub for more then 2 weeks. I'm getting pretty anxious to have my bathroom back! I'm also still waiting for the washing machine to be delivered! It really should be here by now! The good news is we had 2 more calls about the house. So far we have 3 appointments for our open house on May 14th. One women called today and said she did not care what the bathroom looks like. She is very interested in my garden! I like her already! I'm praying we get many customers and more importantly a real buyer! We need someone who is ready to buy...and can afford it. Someone who doesn't want to drop the price too much, and someone we think could be happy here. I really want someone to buy my house, and love my house! I want it to be a good match!

Oh, the bank called. They approved our loan. The bank papers are finally ready. We have to postpone the notary appointment. Juergen needs to travel North to see his dad on Friday. Richard had an operation. He wasn't doing so good. I think it was a strong drug reaction. After a few days of sleep, Richard is much better (Praise God)!!! He may be able to go home on Friday. Juergen will spend the weekend (even mothers day) with him. He owes me one! But then again, I owe him too. I'm just so glad Richard is OK!

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 ...
