Vacation plans


I just booked a vacation house in Holland for the last week of our kids vacation. It is right on the beach. It has indoor and out door swimming, a giant indoor playground, billiards, bowling, go carts, biking, golf, and, and... Juergen can go wind surfing with Nicole, and maybe even jet skiing (they did that in Thailand last year). I hope we get good weather. It has rained allot this summer. The kids get 6 weeks of summer vacation beginning next Thursday. They have many wonderful things lined up. They get to ride horses, shoot bow and arrows, go climbing, go to Oma & Opas, and go to VBS (vacation Bible school). I'm going to continue to teach Philip to read. He is doing great with the new program. I bought Thomas and Nicole new educational software. I also bought Nicole vocabulary cards in Spanish (her 6TH language). She takes Spanish in the fall. She thinks it will be easy after 4years of Latin. She didn't get the language thing from me! I'm very excited about our vacation! I thank God I could find a great deal on this vacation house at the last minute! I can not wait!!!

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...
