on the way home

Shelley and Dianna took me to the Portland airport today. My brother Rick called just before we left. I think he wanted to hear me cry. I did cry when I gave my Mom and Dad a hug goodbye. I simply live too far away. I had too much stuff to bring home. My 2 bags were over weight. They wanted to charge me an extra $100 for the 13 lbs. I just pulled out my back pack and took out the books. I put them in my carry on bag. I had hoped to travel light…hah! The plane to Minneapolis was totally full. I had my book bag and computer at my feet. I feel like a pretzel! God please give me more room on the flight to Amsterdam! We landed in fog. That was very scary. The older women behind me was talking and talking. She was very entertaining. She was in Oregon visiting grand children. She had a manicure. Then she was so nervous on the flight she chipped all the nail polish. Lord, I want to be home!

Ok now I'm in the Yotel in Amsterdam. I came very close to missing my flight because I didn't hear them call the flight. Again the flight was full. I did have a bit more room, and it was a good flight. I slept maybe 3 hours. We got to Amsterdam at 11am. I checked into this small cabin hotel by 11:30am. It's very comfortable. I'm listening to the Bible online. I'll also take a shower. I’m afraid to sleep. I don't want to miss my flight home. I am very happy this trip is nearly over. I can not wait to hug my kids! I can not wait to see my sweetheart Juergen!

I just got your package today. You are just too kind. I was hoping you were still in the states. I wanted to call you. I am glad you are almost home.

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.
