Praise God!!!

Juergen went to the International school to see if Thomas could get a place in the 4TH grade this Fall. He was able to talk with the head Secretary and the teacher that would be Thomas' teacher. The Secretary remembered our family. She even thought it was good and noble that we had adopted Thomas and Philip (they have not met Sarah). Thomas went to school in the first grade at this school. He only traded to a special school for kids with speech delays. Sometimes I think we made a big mistake by taking him out of the school in the first place. Anyway, they are setting up a smaller class for kids that speak German as a second language. The director must make the final decision. The Secretary will talk with him next week. She sounded very positive. Please keep praying. Juergen said he thought the teacher was great. The set up is just what Thomas needs. It would be an amazing blessing if this could work. Our son is so destroyed. He needs hope like a drought stricken land needs rain. He needs a team of teachers that are on his side and that care that he succeeds. His present teachers are convinced he is a loser, and they seem to tell him this everyday. Hope is so powerful. Thomas needs hope!

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
