staycation





Philip and Thomas are at a church camp, and Sarah is at a soccer camp this week.  Nicole is working on her art projects, and Jessica has been going to her workshop.  Jürgen has been able to sleep in, and we have gone out to breakfast a few days.  We have also made loads of decisions about all sorts of things.  And we have gotten allot done around the house.  Right now Jürgen is working on some renovation of tile on our terrace outside.  We got quotes of 3000 Euro for the project.  But Jürgen is fixing the problem for about 100 Euro. We are blessed he knows how to use tools. It is allot of work, and he is working up a good sweat!   The garden is growing, and I'm freezing and canning stuff.  If we get some sunshine I'll be canning loads of tomatoes next week.  Mostly we have Zucchini and summer squash.  Nicole made apple and zucchini muffins this week.  They were really wonderful!  I don’t mind having lots of zucchini in my freezer if she will make these muffins!  They were gluten free of course.  You can find the recipe here

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.
