another full day and my time is short

Today was full. I went to McDonalds with Bridgett, Zennick, Jade and Hannah because they have a playground. Really, I'm not suppose to go to McDonalds until after Easter. That was my goal for lent. Sorry about that...I'll try not to mess up on that goal again. I just thought it would be good for the kids so they could play. Bridgett is my niece and I haven't seen her in 13 years. She is a totally great mom! Her 3 kids are all bright and wonderful! Hannah reminds me of my sister Shelley, Jade looks just like Bridgett and my sister Dianna, and Zennick looks like my nephew Doug. I love them all! I hope they can come visit us in Germany someday. That would be great!!!
Dianna and Paul made us really good Barbeque for dinner. It cooked for 5 hours, and just fell off the bones. I only eat the chicken. I am trying to stick to my lent promise. Those ribs looked so good!
I watched the academy awards with Dad tonight. I want to rush out and see Blind side and the hurt locker. Both sounded really good!
Mom is doing very well. She is still in some pain, but moves around very well. It will still take a few more weeks to recover, but she is well on her way! I help her with her therapy, and her progress is wonderful!
I only have a few short days left. I don't even want to think about this fact. I simply want to hold the hand of my parents as long as I'm here. I'll post photos tomorrow. Thank you Juergen for holding down the fort, you are simply the best and I miss you my darling man!

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...
