why

I just pulled myself out of a very warm bed to make sure my boys got off to school. One of them is in the habit of going with out a coat. You would think he wouldn't forget when it's below freezing, but it takes awhile for him to registers cold. And then he is half way to school, and will not turn back for his coat. The other rides a bike. And I got the "MOM" look when I made him bring reflector lights. His hair is black, his coat is black, and the sky is dark. He does not drive a car. He can not judge if cars can see him on his bike. He can only think how uncool the reflectors look. I have to drag myself out of a warm bed for this ungrateful audience. I don't expect they will ever think to say thank you. In a year or two they will be on there own. Right now Sarah is much more receptive to my input. I hope she continues to be appreciative. I guess the boys just don't want to be babied. They aren't babies anymore.

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.
