Monk


Did I tell you someone stole pumpkins from our yard? We had pumpkins in our yard waiting to be carved, and a paper skeleton hanging up. Halloween is something new to Germany. I like to put some decorations up so the kids know they can come trick or treating at our house. Anyway, on Sunday morning (my birthday) I noticed most my decorations were gone. They didn't take anything with much value, I just hated they took anything at all. I find it very disrespectful.

Today is Halloween. The kids have a week of fall vacation. Philip and Thomas were outside playing with two friends. They come to the front door with a plastic bag, and a hair. They think the hair belongs to the pumpkin thief, so they were going to place it in the small plastic bag as evidence. They have been watching Monk DVD's. Then they told me they were going to hunt for more clues. I know they will crack this case wide open!

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.
