When I get old




I was laying in bed this morning, an Nicole brought me my coffee! It will be awhile until I can enjoy a cup of coffee in bed. Tomorrow our two week Christmas vacation is over,and the kids go back to school. I need to get up with Nicole at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. Nicole had listened to the news on the radio. She said they are predicting 2007 will be the hottest year ever recorded. They expect the extreme heat in Paris that they have had the past two summers. Thousands of people (mostly old people) died alone in their apartments from the heat over the past two years. This isolation is a curse of "modern" society. Germans also have a negative birth rate. 40% of all Germans say they want no children at all. What so many of them fail to think about is no children means no one to check on them when they are old. They spend all their time and money on themselves...but they are looking at a lonely isolated future were there is no one to claim their body when they die alone. The only ones having kids in Europe are the Muslims. What will Europe look like in 50 years if the Christians stop having children, and the Muslims keep having 6 kids? What a crazy world we live in! Millions of children are left alone (orphans) due to aids. They have nothing, and know one to educate them, feed them, or love them. At the same time, the western world is having no children,and selfishly spending every dime upon themselves! Sorry this post is so negative...it is just what I am thinking about today. Children (even kids that need to get up early in the morning) are a blessing from God. Some times I feel very alone in this belief!


"Look what you've done!! I'm melting, melting."

"Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world"!

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.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
