Happy wet birthday Juergen!!!

Today is Juergen's birthday and we love him VERY MUCH!!! The local swimming pool (newly renovated) was going to have its big grand opening party today. It's not the best weather for the grand opening of an outdoor swimming pool. I feel a little sorry for the organizers of that project! If the weather was nice, I'm sure the whole city would turn out for the party. I’m sure as wet and cold as it is only local officials and the architect’s mother will show up! Looking at the pool from a distance, I think it will be nice. It is not so important how you start out; big events don't make up the value of a life. It is all the long sunny days well spent that matter. A swimming pool will be enjoyed for many years, and the wet opening will soon be forgotten. Juergen and I would have loved to go out and celebrate this birthday together. Our new daughter Sarah isn't ready for a babysitter. Too bad! But it's not so important how fabulous this one day turns out to be, because over all life really is just wonderful with Juergen! I hope we have many great long sunny days together for many years to come! Happy Birthday sweetheart!

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.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

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 h...
