The boy's are back

I'm very sick. Juergen had to take me to the after hours Dr to get antibiotics. My throat is very infected. I feel really awful!!! The boys got back from summer camp yesterday. At first they said they had a terrible time. Poor Thomas is lactose intolerant and drank some normal milk. I will not go into details, but he messed his pants because the diarrhea was so bad. The other kids were not very nice about it. Imagine how embarrassing that could be. He really has to be more careful. He knows he can not handle real milk. But as time goes by, we begin to hear the good stories...the fun things they did. I hope the memories of the embarrassing stuff will fade. I hope they will want to go to camp again next summer!

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
