Green stuff

Philip and Thomas told Juergen they were sick. He actually believed them and let them stay home from school. I suspected they were just tired. None of us are use to getting to bed early. It takes some time to get back to the old routine after a vacation.
At lunch I served broccoli and peas. When I saw Thomas take a second helping of the broccoli I nearly fell over. He use to give me the dirtiest look when I tried to serve any green stuff. Like I was really trying to poison him. Second helpings on broccoli...maybe he really is sick?

Amy,
Sandra Boynton has a song out called (Don't give me that) Broccoli. Maybe that should be your new theme!
Thankfully Acer eats everything, including pickled beets, which I hate.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

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
