I'm upset!!!

I'm trying to be calm and not get mad. But the class decided not to let Nicole show her China cabinet painting and her man. Both pieces standout too much. I think they are afraid she will steal the show. The whole thing is crazy! The professor will hear it tomorrow. And perhaps the situation will change. They are letting her show her water feature "finding Nemo", and they will let her show the Rhino mask by it's self. "Finding Nemo" is a cool work, but it happens to be the least of what she has done. Shouldn't she be allowed to show her best work? Finding Nemo will still stand out. It is the only water feature in the whole school. And it will have 3 live fish swimming in the toilet. Her rhino mask can also stand alone, but what gives them the right to dissect her work and show it in part? I thought artists are suppose to be original? I thought being different was a good thing in the art world? What happened to "one of a kind" and "being in a class by yourself"? I guess the other students do not see it that way? But I'm not objective. Still, I personally think she should have the right to show what she wants and let the public decide what they think. They should all be allowed to put their best foot forward, and let the public judge what they like and don’t like.

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 ...
