Hi to My family!


my airplane in Amsterdam

I am in Oregon. I had a good trip over. I landed in Seattle and had a short visit with my brother. His son is going through a crisis so it wasn't all that relaxing. I got to meet Amy, his future wife. She was totally wonderful. I also think I was a help to Rick, so for this reason the trip was worth it. I rode the train down to Oregon. I was afraid to death I would over sleep my stop. I didn't. I also missed the end of the Olympics. I missed the big hokey game. Too bad!







I am slowly getting over the jet lag. I got to bring my mom home from the hospital. I am doing a small amount of cleaning and cooking. I am also going to help mom with her therapy. It's actually pretty easy work. I love my parents and I'm glad to be here. I also spent a few hours talking with Shelley about gardens, and watching a movie with Dianna. Juergen sounds tired on the phone, and Jessica sounds sick.
I'll send photos later.
So more later! ALL MY LOVE TO JUERGEN, JESSICA, NICOLE, PHILIP, THOMAS AND SARAH! XXXOOO

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.
