Not long now

God willing we will get the house August 2ND. My parents reminded me that that is just 5 weeks from now. I have focused so much on the sale of our house in Leimen, I haven't really given much thought to the move. The kitchen was the first concrete things we have done. We will keep our kitchen, and add an island for more storage & work space. I was at OBI today and asked if they have kitchen islands. They can order them for you. I have a man figuring out a price for me. He will call me. I'm guessing it will be 1500 Euro. I hope I'm wrong, and that it's cheaper then that. I also looked at counter tops and sinks. Fun stuff! We talk with the architect today too. Lot's of decisions to make. But it's fun to decide what kind of windows you want, and what color you want the walls to be. We still don't have a buyer for our house. My sister wrote me that a house sells better when it's empty. Because we are not buying a new kitchen, I feel like we have some extra time to sell the house. I am not so worried about it now. It really looks better empty. We probably can sell it after we move. I would be very glad if we sold it before then, but I'm not stressed about it right now.

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...
