New everything...and just before Christmas


I'm sort of use to Juergen going out and buying everything he wants about 2 weeks before Christmas. This year his shopping habit have taken a different direction. Our dishwasher, cloths dryer, and stove all broke (no kidding). He would make the trip to the appliance store for a new dishwasher, then two days later the cloths dryer broke. We had wet cloths hanging everywhere. It was a disaster! So Juergen went to get a new cloths dryer. Then the very next day it was the stove. So we have a limited budget for Christmas. Everyone will get a gift, but not the whole toy store! They only need one gift because they all have so much anyway! I shopped today for the top idem on their lists. I also had to buy Nicole new cloths. I bought her new shoes and jeans 2 months ago. Her shoes are already too small, and the jeans are 2 inches too short. She now wears a size 43 shoe (I think that is a US size 10). She is almost 5 feet 10 inches tall. She needs to stop growing because it's getting impossible to find her cloths.

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.
