A trip home

My brother in law Paul (who is only 55 years old I think) goes into a Hospice today. It's a real tragedy. Please pray for him and for my sister Dianna. It is an awful road she is traveling down. It is not anything I could have hoped for them. They really could use prayer. God bless the people who work in the Hospice. What a place of ministry. Paul was a truck driver and he has a bad heart, and has suffered from many strokes. My Mom is still planning on coming with us to Italy. The whole trip seems badly timed. I'm always happy to see my mom, but I hate to take her away from my sister at this point. But mom also needs rest. She is caring for my dad. And his health is not very good. It is very important for caretakers to get rest. That applies to me too. Juergen and I take care of all our kids...but Jessica has autism. We do need a break too. I do feel badly about the timing of our trip. Juergen’s dad is also in the hospital. I guess it’s just how things are when you are in your 50’s. But you expect older parents to have health issues and die. You don’t really expect to see your brother in law die so young. I’m really very sorry. I pray she can physically feel the love of God carry her with His grace, and provide all her needs. This is a photo blog Paul wrote 5 years ago. It's pictures he took when he drove around the USA http://rampilotsviews.blogspot.de/

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.
