Out with Nicole





This afternoon I took Nicole and her friend Laura out to lunch and a movie. We had some extra time to kill before the film so we went to IKEA. It was fun! We saw the movie Enchanted. It is a story about a fairy tail princess who comes to real life in New York. She basically falls out of fairy tail love and in real love with a man. I love this scene in the film where she introduces her prince to everyone. Instead of saying this is my dream man, or the great love of my life the disenchanted princess says, "This is my prince". Cute. It was OK (probably better in English). The best part was just spending time with the girls. I'm happy they are not so "cool" that they would be willing to go anywhere with mom!

Eric and I saw this movie in English and it was a hoot. It is great that Nicole and her friend were glad to go with you shopping and a movie. At this stage they usually complain about it.

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
