keep them alive


I made the kids baked chicken with rice and vegetables. The kids only wanted to eat the chicken. I said "no snacks until you eat your vegetables". I just know the only vegetables they will see when I'm gone are mushrooms on the top of frozen pizza and maybe lettuce on a hamburger. I am not going to think about it. I'm going to get on that airplane next Monday and trust Juergen to keep them alive until I return.

God, give us grace to accept the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I love vegetables and my kids love vegetables. I think having a vegetable garden helped.
Maybe if they grew a cherry tomato plant. Or you have them each pick out what they want to grow and then they will want to try out what they picked out what to grow. Just a thought.

I am glad you have the wisdom to let it go. I know I am just happy they are all still alive when I get back from a trip. I can't think about HOW they survived, just that the DID survive & so did their dad :)

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.
