A vacation day

The kids have 2 weeks vacation. Juergen is home today. I slept in until 10am. Oh I needed that! Then I cleaned the living room, dinning room and kitchen. Then I made lunch. After lunch I cleaned the kitchen again. I never really get a day off unless we are staying at a hotel. Now every kid in the neighborhood rings the bell. They are bored and their parents send them out to play. I'm afraid we will be looking after the whole group for the next 2 weeks. The kids (my kids) are happy playing with the others. I really shouldn't complain. I just hope we can keep the house clean. We still need to sell it. If we went on vacation we couldn't show the house. I can tell I'm getting older. I like to guard my peace more and more. I have to set down rules like no friends until the afternoon (2pm). That way we get some quite time, and learning time, and work time. I wish we were in Thailand...but you can not have everything!

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.
