As many of you know, I expected Juergen to be home this week, gone last week. I hadn't made plans to do anything with anyone. It's so cool that people actually keep coming by to see us. It makes the days full, and we are not so board or lonely for Juergen. My good friend Kerstin was here today with her boys. Tomorrow Philip and Thomas get to spend the whole afternoon at the jump in ( a giant indoor play park). Tomorrow night a good friend comes for dinner. Then Juergen (God willing) will come home Friday. The whole single mom of 5 thing will be over (thank you Jesus). It really has been fine, but I'm so thankful I have Juergen. His mom has been sleeping more and more. She has lost her ability to sit up, feed herself, or even speak. Juergen says she looks sad and board. I pray God heals her, or takes her home. This slowly slipping away is very sad. I can think of no other words to describe it. Juergen told me on the phone, "God is either going to heal her or she will be the first one in the family to meet Jesus". When he said that I got the chills! I guess death would not be so bad, it is only this long death that is hard.
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.
