Happy Easter



I took Juergen out on a date last night.  Our new idea is that once a month one of us will plan a date with the other one in mind.  So I took him first to a cafe in a big music store.  After coffee we looked at guitars.  Then we had pizza at one of his favorite restaurants.  And then I had tickets for fast and furious 7.  Many of you know one of the main actors (Paul Walker) died last year in a car accident.  They did a tribute to him at the end of the film.  Juergen cried. I wanted it to be a good time.  It ended up being a sober reflection about life, and how fragile it can be.  We thought of all those students in Kenya that lost their lives this week.  Imagine the courage it took not to deny Christ.  Sometimes it feels so strange to have it so good in a world of such great pain. But I know how everything can change in 3 short days.  You have the cross…and everything seems lost.  And then God moves in his great power. And Jesus is alive!

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.
