It was a very long day

It was a very long day that started by going over the Rocky Mountains and ended up in the black hills of South Dakota. We went through 2 storms. I was praying allot today. In fact we prayed and sang most of the trip. The mountains were mostly clear, but at one point near Vail it began to snow. We had to pull over and pray because we only have summer tires on the rental van. And after we said amen, a snow plow passed, and I followed him down the pass. So it seemed fine for a good stretch of the way. But in Wyoming it looked so bad, we thought we would see some tornado’s. I drove for one and a half hours in very heavy rain and wind. And I admit I was very afraid. But I moved slowly and kept on the road. And we finally drove away from that storm. So we are in Rapid City South Dakota. Tomorrow, God willing, we see Mount Rushmore. Then we travel to Minneapolis. It's another 12 to 15 hour day, but our last day of driving. I don't have many good pictures from today. We hardly stopped. It was so intense. So good night. Thank you for your prayers. We felt Gods protection.

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...
