made for me

I went for a walk today. It was after breakfast with a friend. But the weather is still cold and I'm getting another cold. Now I've got a cough, I'm not really sure I really recovered from the last cold. I sat next to Jessica’s teacher at the parent info night. Her class is going to Berlin in May. They also talked to us about next fall. Most of the kids can remain in the school another year but Jess is done with school in the summer. She was going to go to the autism house in Sandhausen but they don't have a director. So that idea failed. And they are remodeling the workshop in Wiesloch so that program is closed. In fact all the other programs in the area are over full with the people from Wiesloch. They just don't have room for Jess. I wonder if there really is a better place for her if we moved to Bad Schönborn?
Juergen and I get interviewed tonight at church , they have a marriage seminar. They ask us questions for about 1/2 hour. We have had a pretty good marriage for 20 years and I guess we might be doing something right. But it has always been easy from the start. I don't really know how we do it, we just do. We took the 5 love language test online. We took it alone but got almost exactly the same score. Maybe it's so easy because we speak the same language? I just feel blessed because I married the right person! It’s like he was made for me!

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...
