LaFoce our last day in Italy



We tried to see the garden called "LaFoce" today.  We read it was open from 9 until 6pm today.  But when we arrived it was closed.  So instead we went to the hill top town Montepulciano.  On the way to the town we stopped by a restaurant.  They grow all their own food.  It is located in a monastery that was built in the 1400's.  We ate sheep’s cheese with fresh honey, and had green salad and homemade Ragu.  It was awesome!  And then we toured the old wine cellar.  They had a mask of the wine god Bacchus that is over 2000 years old.  It was really cool!  And Montepulciano was also a great surprise!  It was raining, but we still managed to see allot of the town.  And now we are packing up.  Juergen and the kids travels to Rome in the morning, and Nicole, Jessica, Mom and I will drive home to Germany.

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.
