own 25th anniversary party

Nicole posted a few new pictures on her face book. Her painting of her room is almost done and I like it. And she is keeping busy. I guess we are busy too because I have not posted much in the past weeks. We got to go to a friend’s 25th wedding anniversary party. It was held at a castle and the view was very good. The food and company was also wonderful. It got Juergen and me thinking about our own 25th anniversary party in 2 years. It's going to take some planning and money. I don't think we will have it at a castle, but maybe a party at our house with a caterer and live music? We are planning Juergen's 55th Birthday party for next year. I think we will buy another party tent. I will most likely cook to save some money. But we are hoping to have the house painted and finished by then. We even have a date, but we are still checking other calendars before we fix that date. I am hoping my family, and best friend Cindy...and maybe other friends can make it for the Anniversary party in 2 years. We will probably do it in September of 2015 because we want the good weather. And airline ticket prices are better in September. So maybe my family can start to save some money or miles? We will find a vacation house or 2 to keep you in. Maybe we can also plan a trip to Italy?

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
