Thank you Elke and Happy birthday Mom!



I found a large red basket in a second hand shop today. I've been collecting candy for my family the past 2 months. We gave up sugar for lent. They will sure be excited about this loot on Sunday! I have American and German chocolate, and real jellybeans. I generally make a family basket instead of individual baskets. It’s just so much easier then 7 baskets! I also bought some water plants. A good friend gave me all sorts of fun stuff including large a planter with a water proof liner. I added stones to the bottom of the planter and water plants. I’ll take photos once the mud settles. My friend Elke gave me a pressure canner and old jars and lids. I am so amazed at her generosity! Thank you so much Elke!!! You will get lots of fresh salad and tomato’s this summer if I am successful at growing them!


Today is my moms birthday. I really wish I could be there. I am so grateful I got to come even if the time was short. I love you mom and 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.
