keep them alive


I made the kids baked chicken with rice and vegetables. The kids only wanted to eat the chicken. I said "no snacks until you eat your vegetables". I just know the only vegetables they will see when I'm gone are mushrooms on the top of frozen pizza and maybe lettuce on a hamburger. I am not going to think about it. I'm going to get on that airplane next Monday and trust Juergen to keep them alive until I return.

God, give us grace to accept the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I love vegetables and my kids love vegetables. I think having a vegetable garden helped.
Maybe if they grew a cherry tomato plant. Or you have them each pick out what they want to grow and then they will want to try out what they picked out what to grow. Just a thought.

I am glad you have the wisdom to let it go. I know I am just happy they are all still alive when I get back from a trip. I can't think about HOW they survived, just that the DID survive & so did their dad :)

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
