Juergen and I finally got our breakfast out (for our anniversary). We found a nice cafe with a breakfast buffet. We were the only ones there. I am very confused about life. I want a bigger garden. I actually do not want to move. I guess I'm not confused about that! Thomas is finally making friends at school, Nicole is in her last two years of school, Jessica may get to stay an extra year in her school (I'll write more about that). We want to be even more involved in church. I could go on and on. The one thing I'm not confused about is I feel good where I am at and I don't want to change that. What I want is a garden. I know I could not protect it if someone wanted to rob my garden, but I think I should stop looking at houses and just try to find a garden to rent or buy. Maybe if I found the perfect house in this area...maybe I would move? But for now I just can not see it! I like my house, my neighbors...I only want a bigger garden!

So Jessica’s teacher said Jess may be able to stay one extra year in school. She loves her school and her teachers. I felt so sad when I learned this was her final year of school. Now they say that she maybe able to stay one extra year. That would be such an answer to prayer. Please pray that this could work out!

Nicole begins taking singing lessons today. We are so honored that she can take lessons with Johannes Falk. He is a very gifted person. Here is samples of Nicole’s singing teacher.

I think hydroponics is the answer for you can grow vertically indoors somewhere not taking much space and year round where you can keep an eye on it.
You can get a system for around $300 to $400 dollars, or go on u-tube and build a fish tank hydroponic system for growing lettuce.

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...
