nearly perfect

It's only 8 am and I'm sitting on the balcony over looking the sea. I guess I've caught up on my sleep. The only thing missing is a good cup of coffee. So far I've only found awful English instant coffee. I know what your thinking, "how awful!!! Poor girl". Don't worry too much about me, where there is a will there is a way! I will find good coffee...I will, I will!!!
Here are some photos from day 2 in Cyprus. Nicole went to Kyrina with Rick. Jessica still didn't feel good but is getting better. Juergen's big challenge was a Master sudoko. I taught the boy's to play Rummy. Philip, Sarah, and Thomas spent the rest of the day in the pool. I got too much sun but it was lovely! Today I think we will just continue to chill out by the pool. In a day or two Jessica may feel like walking, and then we will do some tours. My big goal is to get Jessica to spend a few hours in the pool. We decided not to scuba dive because the kids need to be stronger swimmers. I bought the things we need to make a lemon pie. I also want to cook some rice and beans

Wow! From the slideshow, it looks like you are having so much fun with Rick. I would love to visit Germany someday. I can't believe it has been so long since we last saw each other. I remember the last time I saw Nicole she was about two feet tall, now I hear she is over 6! Tells you how long it's been. I miss you all and love you very much. -Bridget

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
