Juergen's mom

Juergen's mom fell again today. She broke her hip again. She is in the hospital. Please pray for her because she has allot of pain. Juergen called his parents when we returned from Holland last night. They told him they had talked with Waltruds doctors. They don't plan on doing more surgery on her brain. Unless God steps in, she is dying. She will not be able to walk again, or even stand again. The tumors have paralyzed her legs. I've talked to her about it, and I know she does not want to live a long life unable to move. She believes in God. She does not really fear death. I think being totally disabled is a greater fear to her. Juergens dad Richard has carried such a heavy load caring for Waltrud. He is also really feeling the effects of his own age. He is 79 years old. He has to write everything down because his memory is failing. It's difficult to tell if it's the stress causing the memory problems, or something more serious. I just want prayer for Gods grace and peace, as well as a lack of pain. I really can not tell if I should pray for healing or a quick painless death? We all must die. I would wish for many more years with Juergens parents. It seems they have been robbed...or more we have been robbed of them. I do not want to see them suffer. I would much rather see them go.

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.
