this and that

I spent about an hour watering my plants outside. In the green house it's over 100 F. The tomatoes don't seem to mind the heat as long as they have water. And it felt like a sauna in there. I was dripping sweat after I watered the plants. Philip, Thomas and Nicole are at summer camp this week. Sarah is at her friend’s house. Jessica is taking a nap. And Juergen is at work. It is so quite it seems almost strange! And I do manage to keep up with the laundry and the dishes. I almost think it's what it is like to be an empty nester. I'm getting allot of reading done. Yesterday Juergen showed the house in Leimen to 3 families. But the ones who need the space do not have the money. I'm afraid we will need to advertise the house as a rental. I think that is only wise. At this point it does not look like we will be able to sell it. I am trying hard not to get too emotional about this process. I really would love to sell it now. But I'm really fine if we rent it too. I just don't want to lose allot of money and time. The sooner it's resolved the better.

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
