school pictures and tomatoe news

Juergen had an early meeting. I had to get Sarah and Jessica both on their busses. I forgot that Sarah has her kindergarten photo taken today. She was not dressed up very nice. The other kids were. One little boy had on a 3 piece suite. Poor little guy, his hair was greased back. I asked the driver to wait while I ran and got her a nicer sweater. She dresses herself. Today she had an older play t-shirt. It was perfect for play, but nothing for a school photo. At least her hair was shinny and clean. I have 100's of great pictures of Sarah. The school photos don't really mean much to me. I don't even buy them unless they are very good. I'm not a fan of formal portraits.
I watered my tomatoe plants before my first cup of coffee. I thought it was funny that I thought about my plants before I thought of myself. I baby these plants. I've been growing them from seed since March. It hasn't been easy. We have had allot of cold rain, and not enough sunshine. But my plants are all tall. I have hundreds of flowers on the vines. It will not be long until we get fruit. I'm very excited about this! I don't grow enough food to be self sustaining, but I have made good progress this year. Some people think I've grown vegetables for years. It's not true. Last year we tried growing vegetables with very little success. This is our 2nd year, and we have made progress. It is a long term goal, and I'm only just beginning. Hopefully we will not get hit by any serious storms or bugs. Really, it is not all skill. It is so much in Gods hands. Like everything in life, every good gift comes from God. I can plant and I can water but only God can give the increase!

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
