can I just go?

I'm feeling badly that Jessica’s teacher cannot take care of her for a while.  She has some family business to manage.  We are sorry for her difficulty.  I don't feel comfortable sending Jess to the workshop without her teacher.  She gets very defensive and afraid when she does not have someone there to help her.  So she is home for an uncertain time.  It will most likely be stressful for Jürgen and me.  I could take Jessica with me when I travel to America.  But that would basically dominate the whole trip, and make visiting with my family difficult.  My time there is short enough as it is.  So Jürgen will take the entire time off (he had planned to work part time).  I feel guilty about leaving him with this great responsibility.  I'm certain he can manage it, but I'm sorry he must.  I'm hoping I can get permission to take Philip with me.  The school director must agree.  We could not reach anyone this weekend.  Philip would be a great help to me, and give Jürgen one less kid to keep track of.  Thomas has exams to take, and Sarah's passport has expired.  It's too late to have it renewed.  I pray for Jessica’s teacher.  I also pray God will help Jürgen and the kids.  I cleaned out the refrigerator today.  I will fill the freezer this week.  I want to leave everything in the best order just to make it easier for Jürgen.  I'm probably just worrying more then I should.  But Jessica has not been very easy to care for lately.  She is restless and demanding.

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
