In the garden

Nicole and I went to the building supply store to buy wood for boarders in my vegetable garden. Juergen will put the boarders up for me. I've got all these plants started. They need to be planted. The wooden boarders are only temporary until the boxwood plants grow. That will take about 5 years. A garden is always a long term project. First you deal with the infrastructure, then add the plants. The plants will cover the infrastructure, and soften it. Just give us 5 years, it will be amazing (I hope). Juergen is in Leimen. He had an appointment to show the house for rent. But he just called, and the people didn't show up. Oh well. I just know God has someone in mind. I hate the wait and the work, not to mention the loss of money. But I will wait, and just keep believing God will provide us with the right family soon. I don't like it when people just don't show up for an appointment but that's happened to us over and over. It get's really frustrating. It cost us so much valuable time. We have so much to do. It is sad to spend hours going to Leimen, waiting and waiting just to turn around and come home. Frustrating. God please help us finish this whole process...just let us settle the matter well and soon.

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...
