This morning we were sitting at the breakfast table. Juergen, who lived in Holland until he was 11 years old was really enjoying the raisin toast with chocolate sprinkles on it. I said it's because it reminds him of his childhood just like I love Mexican food. Nicole who is getting to be very clever chipped in, "and McDonalds reminds me of my childhood"! Sad but true!
The weather has turned very cold and stormy. The sky has cleared a little, so Juergen took everyone but Jessica to the beach. So far Jessica still doesn't want to join the family. I think I'm going to drag her to the swimming pool today. Knowing Jessica, she will start joining the family on Friday just in time for us to go home! We really should have made this a two week vacation. You live and learn!
There are still so many cool things for us to try here. We need to get busy, and maybe even plan to come back. I like it here very much!

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
