A busy weekend



We had a very busy weekend. I could use a few days of rest. On Saturday we got allot done around the house. Saturday night Juergen and I got to go out together. We were celebrating his 49Th birthday. First we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It was totally predictable and completely unrealistic but I loved it anyway! Then we went to a small hole in the wall pizza place. We are considering having Juergens Big 50Th party bash in this very cute Italian place. At least it's on our short list. Sunday was actually Juergen's birthday. The kids and I made a great birthday breakfast for papa. We had eggs Benedict with "holiday sauce". It's Hollandaise sauce but since we eat it every holiday, Thomas calls it Holiday sauce. Thomas had a work shop in African drumming Sunday afternoon. Sunday night
Juergen and Nicole got to raise some money for the house in Mexico. They gave an announcement at Heidelpraise, and received part of the offering. This morning Jessica left on a week long class trip. I was up until nearly 1 am packing her stuff. I worry about my sweet Jessica when she is not with me. I know she'll be well cared for but I will really miss my girl.

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
