Oh boy!

Juergen went to his parents for a few days. I pray God gives him help and peace. It is not fun to watch someone you love so dearly struggle in the final period of life. Death is not pretty. You can say all you want "she is going to a better place". I will not argue with you. The transition is ugly, and the hole she is leaving is giant! We desperately need the comfort of the Holy Spirit to carry us in this very difficult time.
In the mean time, I'm the single mom to 5 children. One of them, Thomas, is a real pill. The kids are really getting into doing puzzles lately. Sarah started working on a 60 piece puzzle, and Philip on a 100 piece puzzle. Thomas talked really big, like I can do it better then anyone. Well, he is older...naturally he can. But the problem is he would not help Sarah, he wanted to take over for her. He would not help Philip because I actually think Philip can do it better then Thomas. He just made trouble. I had to send him to his room. Then I had to talk to him about not being a jerk, and working with people. He always wants to be the "best". He is so insecure. I think part of the problem is he is sad Juergen is gone. He doe not handle change so good. Some how God has got to plant this boy on a new foundation that is not so easily shaken. He has got to learn to make the best of who he is with out having to put other people down. We can all be wonderful...we are for each other...we are family.

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.
