The calm before....

Juergen went to pick the kids up from camp. I would have gone with him but Jessica needed a nap. So Juergen is gone, and Jessica is asleep. I'm enjoying a few hours of calm before the loud kids return. I'm looking forward to hearing how it went. I'm sure it was awesome! And I'm grateful Juergen and I had this past week. We got allot done, and we enjoyed each others company. Next week is the last week of summer vacation. We have loads of yard work to do ahead of the big graduation party we are hosting for 100 people. So I think the kids will be glad to get back to school. And eventually I will have my mornings back, as Jessica also goes back to school. So there are good things to look forward to. It was such a nice week. Sometimes things do not turn out how you planned them, they turn out better!

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.
