Beautiful

A family that looked at our house (to buy it) called today and said they don't want it. So no sale! Oh well! The painter is at the house in Leimen painting the stair well. He is a real great guy! He is a Christian, and so positive! I'm so grateful when we have people that help us that are honest and hard working! I think I found a nice kitchen too. It's not available until the end of this month. But if we manage to get it, the nice handyman can put it in for us. I also went with Juergen to buy a new cloths dryer. We got an A class energy dryer that should save us about 30 Euro's per month. Our cloths dryer has not worked for a week. We could have spent a few hundred Euro's to have it fixed, but it is a poor quality dryer that eats energy. I think the new cloths dryer will pay for it's self in one year. I was also on eBay. I found this strawberry grape. It is very good for juice and jelly. And it is extremely resistant to mold. Our grape in Leimen has to be sprayed every year agents mold. This grape is suppose to have a very sweet flavored, and smell sweet even on the vine! I know just where I'll put it!

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.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
