unlikely

Juergen showed the house to a very nice family today. They are moving back to Germany from the USA. But the husband has a job pretty far away from our house. It makes zero since for them to live in Leimen. I think they just saw the house on the internet and thought it was nice. But they are not from here, and don't really know where things are. So it's unlikely we will rent to them. Juergen and the kids did get allot of work done on the house today. They cleaned up the paint that had dripped on the floor. They finished putting down the new floor in the basement. They also put a new door in the boy's old bedroom. Apart from a new kitchen, and repainting the stair well there isn’t much to be done. It's very clean and nice. And we will just wait for it to sell or rent. I found a very nice kitchen I'm interested in buying.
Isn't it cute! It sells on eBay in 2 days. I like it allot. It has all the appliances. It is the correct size. We would not need to change a thing. Just moving it from point A to point B. I think it would look nice with the terracotta floor and wall tile. I know some people think we should wait on the kitchen. But I have shown our house so many times over the past year. It seems people want a place that is 100% ready to move in to. That includes a kitchen. I feel like we should not waste any time hoping people will accept the house without a kitchen. If it has a nice kitchen that's one more plus for our house. I'm trying to not worry about the whole thing. I'm trying to just stay focused on anything we can do to sell or rent the house.

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 h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
