Lunch and other important stuff

Today I cooked a vegetable casserole made from the vegetables Nicole grew in our garden. I cooked it with good olive oil, herbs, and cheese. It was yummy with rice and chicken. We had fresh pineapple too. I like to cook "real" food when I have the time. Today was a very lazy day. Philip and Thomas played the whole day outside. Sarah played most of the time with the boys. She is taking a nap right now.
This morning Juergen took Jessica to the doctor. The school wanted to see if Jessica "really required her own teacher". Naturally a full time teacher for one student is outrageously expensive. Jessica was as Juergen put it, "at her worst". That's good because now they will pay for Jessica to have her own teacher next year.
Philip has his EEG tomorrow morning. Please pray that we can find out what is wrong with Philip. His memory problems seem to be getting worse. Even the things he has known for years are starting to be forgotten. I'm going to have to keep him up until 1 pm tonight, and Juergen will wake him up at 5am. He has his EEG at 10am, and needs to be able to fall asleep. I hope it works.

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
