vacation





The kids have another two week vacation just around the corner. In classic Heymann style, we had no plans yet. We have spent most of this year processing the loss of Juergens mom. We are doing OK. Like they say, it hits you in waves. I get to spend a week with my own parents at the end of July. I'm really looking forward to doing not much of anything. I really just want to see them. But right now I'm kind of tired. I wasn't looking forward to two weeks at home with the kids. So we have decided to go to a little spot of heaven just a few hours away. Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It's a little town south of Munich in the alps. The hiking is good, and they have a good indoor pool with waves. We will get loads of exercise, and hopefully sunshine. Lots of sleep, and good food. This is my favorite place in Germany. I've been there a dozen times, but I never grow tired of it. I haven't got confirmation on the reservation yet. Hopefully it will work out OK. It's just a simple vacation apartment. Nothing fancy, but not very expensive either. We can even bring the dog. Hopefully we will get it. Sometimes you just need to get away and get a new perspective. I love the perspective I get when I'm on the top of a mountain or standing next to the sea. I'm sure you know what I mean!

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.
