Making Hawaiian Leis



Tomorrow Nicole graduates from high school. We are going to try to make Hawaiian leis for her and a few close friends. I have roses, Lilly's and carnations in many colors. It should be allot of fun (I hope)! I made leis once when I was a campus pastor. I've seen the most beautiful leis at many graduations in America. A lei is a wreath of love and honor. It reminds me of the Laural wreaths placed on the heads of champions. It's a fun tradition! I didn't wear one when I graduated, but always thought they were very cool! She doesn't wear a cap and gowned. That isn't a German thing. I honestly don't know what to expect. I've never been to a German graduation. For the most part German's make a very big deal of the first day of school, not the end. When Juergen got his PhD, he went to some basement at the University and picked it up from a clerk.

and this is how to make a candy lei. Maybe we can do this too!



who doesn't love candy?

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.
