Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Nicole and I went to the hospital to see Nicole's friend. She was Ok on Monday, could not walk on Tuesday, and had emergency surgery on Weds. to remove a tumor from her spine. She had her first chemo treatment yesterday, I guess it's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma(I'm not sure what kind). I'm also guessing from internet reading that it's stage 3 or even 4 because there is more then one tumor. This is the same cancer I thought I might have last summer. I had weeks of tests and was by Gods grace OK. I have read and heard this is a common and treatable cancer. Her chances are very good. Still, what a shock for a 16 year old to face! The treatment can also be long and very hard. It's not an easy thing for her or her family. I've already seen her in the hospital, and admit I still don't believe it! What a shock! What a very hard thing to face. Please lift Sarah up in your prayers. I do pray that she will be covered with the love and peace of God. She is an extraordinary young women. I'm so sorry she has to walk down this hard road.

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!

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.
