Trying to plan

I have a party planned for December 24th (Christmas Eve) but I'm still not sure anyone is coming.  I'm not really sure what to do about that.  I may end up canceling the party?  And we had planned to go to Juergen's dads house on December 25th.  But now Richard is feeling stressed about having us there (all 7 of us).  I have to admit I was so surprised he agreed to our coming.  So it's no surprise to me he is having 2nd thoughts about the plan.  We are now thinking about going the first week in January when the kids are in camp.  Then it will be 4 of us instead of 7.  But if that is still too stressful, Juergen will go by himself.  The kids were looking forwards to seeing their Opa, but we want to bless him.  If it's too stressful for him, we will do what ever he wants.  He is getting very old.  And it's easy for us to adjust.  Today the kids had their last day of school.  The vacation is 2 weeks long.  Juergen also has 2 weeks off.  As long as we can sleep in, and enjoy each others company I can be flexible about the other stuff. God can surprise me with the details.

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 help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
