The house

Juergen plans to meet all these professional trades people at our new house this afternoon. They will measure and plan for the renovation. We get the house (God willing) on August 2ND. Maybe even earlier? The owners found a place to rent. They shouldn't have any trouble getting out before then. I have to drive the kids around (Taxi Mom) so I can not go to the appointment. I haven't been to the house since April. Juergen has been there a few times. We don't really want to bother the poor owners with our constant visits. I won't see it again until it's ours. But Juergen is getting very excited about the move. It really is a very cool house. We are very blessed to be buying it. Yes we still have to sell our house, but every other thing is falling into place. We are full of joy! We will have moving boxes delivered soon. I plan to spend all of July packing. A moving company will move us. I'm almost 50, and Juergen is 52. We have friends that have back problems. Our friends have moved us many times...and we are so grateful! So this time we will have the movers come. That's also a blessing! Juergen plans to take Augest off for the renovation. It won't be long now! It really is an exciting time!

At our age it pays to have someone move us.

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...
