Trying to plan

I have a party planned for December 24th (Christmas Eve) but I'm still not sure anyone is coming.  I'm not really sure what to do about that.  I may end up canceling the party?  And we had planned to go to Juergen's dads house on December 25th.  But now Richard is feeling stressed about having us there (all 7 of us).  I have to admit I was so surprised he agreed to our coming.  So it's no surprise to me he is having 2nd thoughts about the plan.  We are now thinking about going the first week in January when the kids are in camp.  Then it will be 4 of us instead of 7.  But if that is still too stressful, Juergen will go by himself.  The kids were looking forwards to seeing their Opa, but we want to bless him.  If it's too stressful for him, we will do what ever he wants.  He is getting very old.  And it's easy for us to adjust.  Today the kids had their last day of school.  The vacation is 2 weeks long.  Juergen also has 2 weeks off.  As long as we can sleep in, and enjoy each others company I can be flexible about the other stuff. God can surprise me with the details.

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.
