Chili for a cold night



We are still brainstorming on what to make for our party in November. I am thinking about cooking all kinds of stuff. Making it sort of a potluck. Nicole and I are looking at cookbooks. I could make a few pots of chili, lasagna, quiche, and roasted potatoes. Just all kinds of good stuff depending on the number of people that will come. And some people will bring deserts and salad. Maybe I can borrow baking dishes and crock pots from friends? Right now we have about 60 people coming, but another 60 haven't replied yet. I'm always pretty bad about RSVP's. But I feel Ok now that I know some people are coming. I'm pretty sure we will need the big tent in the garden. I am looking at party tents on eBay. I've also been busy cleaning for the first party we have on Sunday. My Godchild Anna's dedication party. That's sort of a warm-up for our housewarming. We will host about 40 people on Sunday (God willing). It feels pretty good to have the house almost finished. I really do feel like celebrating! There will always be more work to do on the house, but that is everyone’s story! Do you have any super easy potluck meals?

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.
