A good day

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life
Proverbs 13:12



Philip had a very good birthday party today. We took 9 boys bowling for 2 hours. Afterwards they built Lego and watched a movie. I made spaghetti and also apple strudel. It all was really great! Amazing for a house filled with boys.
A family at our church asked Juergen about our house that's for sale. They said they were very interested. But sadly they called and said they don't want to live in Leimen. They live in the best neighborhood in Heidelberg, so I guess I can understand! Our house is a very good house, but it's not in the best neighborhood in Heidelberg. My heart is sad! But I need to "brush it off". It takes courage to sell a house. I don't really feel like I've got too much courage right now. But God gives grace to get us by each day. Today was very good. The kids have 3 more days of school. I should forget about what is ahead...and seek grace for today. Today I have more then enough. And God will provide everything we need, so I should just rest.

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.
