The end of summer news







Summer camp is over. The kids had a great time! Thomas worked at the camp as a jumper (someone who does whatever is needed). Sarah was a camper. Philip actually spent a week helping to set the camp up, and 2 days helping to clean up afterwards. And Nicole helped with the decorations this year. Now we have one more week of vacation. Thomas has a big birthday party on Friday. He turns 16 this week! Sadly the weather has gotten cold. My tomatoes have already started to die. We had 100 beautiful plants, but just a handful of tomatoes. It's been a good year for flowers and pumpkins. An awful year for most everything else! Juergen is up North with his dad. His father’s health is not very good. He will most likely be traveling up to see his dad (Richard) at least once a month. We have 2 requests to rent our house, and 2 more to maybe buy the house. I guess people have returned from summer vacation and are now ready to consider house hunting. I'm hoping we will sell it.

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.
