Amy,
I don't know how you could work it in, but Rick would absolutely love to go to Paris for 2 days and to see Monet's garden. Mom

Monet's garden, the louvre, the Eiffel tower, Noter Dame all worth the visit.

When we went to the Louvre, we were there 9 hours and didn't see it all it would have taken us an additional 3 hours that we didn't have and we were moving. Napoleon's apartment is part of it, very ornate. I personally like the giant carved out marble bath tubs and famous paintings.
The Monet gardens we took the train from Paris, and then a bus, and then another bus. If you can drive there it's better because then you don't have to be on the buses schedule. But it's off the beaten path, and you want to bring food and beverages with you because there isn't much there.
The Eiffel tower views are amazing, the lines move quickly and it's can be crowded, you loose your stomach and feel it moving from the top,
The Noter Dame is classic we braved the long walk up to the bell tower it was a killer on the legs and feet, but we were younger then. It would be difficult with out IB and good walking shoes and good walking shape. The line is long.
You definitely have to have the croissants and coffee wow! Not good on a diet.

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.

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

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
