own 25th anniversary party

Nicole posted a few new pictures on her face book. Her painting of her room is almost done and I like it. And she is keeping busy. I guess we are busy too because I have not posted much in the past weeks. We got to go to a friend’s 25th wedding anniversary party. It was held at a castle and the view was very good. The food and company was also wonderful. It got Juergen and me thinking about our own 25th anniversary party in 2 years. It's going to take some planning and money. I don't think we will have it at a castle, but maybe a party at our house with a caterer and live music? We are planning Juergen's 55th Birthday party for next year. I think we will buy another party tent. I will most likely cook to save some money. But we are hoping to have the house painted and finished by then. We even have a date, but we are still checking other calendars before we fix that date. I am hoping my family, and best friend Cindy...and maybe other friends can make it for the Anniversary party in 2 years. We will probably do it in September of 2015 because we want the good weather. And airline ticket prices are better in September. So maybe my family can start to save some money or miles? We will find a vacation house or 2 to keep you in. Maybe we can also plan a trip to Italy?

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 ...
