Everyday holds so much, how shall I ever keep it all recorded?
This morning, there are several things I need to jot down to record!
First - Jakob has a cute blue VW bug car. He turned 16 in November and found this old bug. I don't know what year it is like 1971. It has had one problem after another, but last night in the very dark, after consecutive nights of working on it with Brad they got it running again! The secret was the valve adjustment of .012! Remember that - the internet is wrong! Only the VW lover at the NAPA auto parts store told him that and... he was right! .012. Remember! The next thing Brad said I needed to remember was the piston order 1-4-3-2.
When Jakob drove out the driveway today, I ran out to hand him a treat, and he was beaming! "Thanks for having Dad help me Mom!" I love the self-confidence that comes from learning and succeeding! I am grateful for a good husband who is smart and will get his hands dirty!
Over the past couple of years we have added two goats and 19 chickens to our family. They have had a rough pen in the backyard. We are in the process of building them nice homes! It has been a project for several weeks now! We made it through Christmas and then started work! I am grateful that Brad will grab a hammer and go to work! We are not raising goats or chickens, but kids! Jed, Annie and Hannah have showed up a couple of the work days to help. It is so good for the kids to see the progress and be proud of their work! I love to work together! It is not done yet, but closer every week!
