My friends daughter will be going to Kenya to work with kids. She is going with Campus Crusade for Christ. She goes for a year. What “got me” in this video are the children that are taken in by the other families. They have lost their parents. People who have nothing...adopting kids who have nothing. Why is it so easy for them to say yes, and so hard for us to say yes? We think our lives are stressful, and they walk for a month to find a safe place to live…just for food and clean water. We have more then enough. Juergen took Sarah to her new school today. She met her new teacher. It’s a 5 star school! All new everything. A great music program. They even have a dance teacher. I get overly stressed by cleaning my whole house. We show it 2 times tomorrow. Please pray we can sell it. I just am so tired from this weekly process! But I’m so humbled by this video. How could I survive what they survive? And yet they are generous enough to adopt.

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.
