It was a very long day

It was a very long day that started by going over the Rocky Mountains and ended up in the black hills of South Dakota. We went through 2 storms. I was praying allot today. In fact we prayed and sang most of the trip. The mountains were mostly clear, but at one point near Vail it began to snow. We had to pull over and pray because we only have summer tires on the rental van. And after we said amen, a snow plow passed, and I followed him down the pass. So it seemed fine for a good stretch of the way. But in Wyoming it looked so bad, we thought we would see some tornado’s. I drove for one and a half hours in very heavy rain and wind. And I admit I was very afraid. But I moved slowly and kept on the road. And we finally drove away from that storm. So we are in Rapid City South Dakota. Tomorrow, God willing, we see Mount Rushmore. Then we travel to Minneapolis. It's another 12 to 15 hour day, but our last day of driving. I don't have many good pictures from today. We hardly stopped. It was so intense. So good night. Thank you for your prayers. We felt Gods protection.

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.
