Up date on Juergen's mom

Juergen had a good visit with his parents this weekend. His mom is home from the hospital. She has a broken hip, and is confined to bed 24 hours a day. A special care taker comes a few times a day to move her in her bed so she doesn't develop bed sores. She is drugged heavily so it's not really clear how effected she is by the brain tumors. Some times she seems very clear thinking, and other times very out of it. Everyone around her are treating this very seriously. They all feel like this is the end of her life. Juergen and I both know that this is probably true, but we feel compelled to keep praying for her healing. Waldtrud also told Juergen that she is not afraid to die, but does not want to go yet. I hear other stuff I believe is from God, but I don't feel at liberty to write it down yet. Please just pray for the favor of God to rest on Juergens family. If she dies she is with God but we will feel a great loss. I still pray God will give her 20 more years. I need her wisdom, and prayers.

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
