I got up a little early this morning to straighten up the house. A good friend was bringing her daughters for breakfast. Their house is always so clean, and mine is always so messy. I know she doesn't care...but I do. We had a good visit. It's never so great to talk and pray with all the kids running in and out (there were 9 kids in my house this morning). Then another friend came by to pick up the boys. She ended up taking Nicole and Sarah. They went to the park. I sent my camera with them. Maybe I will have some photos for you later. Right now Jessica is taking a nap, and I'm in an amazingly quite house! I'm doing laundry and getting us ready to go to Juergens parents house on Friday. His mom has her 70Th birthday party. The whole big family will be there. We are spending two days in a hotel. The kids are excited about the hotel pool. Juergens mom is very sick. Juergen and I are anxious about seeing her. With so many people there, we know it will be difficult to have much more then a short talk. Sort of like my morning breakfast. I wish we lived closer. They can not handle the stress of our whole family. I can only praise God for the visit we will have, and for the wonderful long hours we have had in the past. You want more time to say the things you want to say...but the time goes by so fast, and I love you is the only thing you can say. I can not say good bye.

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
