stay-cation 3





One of the things we always do on vacation is eat out. Today we took a short trip to Thailand (one of my very favorite vacation spots). We ate Thai food for lunch. We went to the restaurant and ordered the food to go. Then we went to the garden/ pet center to buy fish food and some end of the season plants. I got a beautiful low growing yellow and orange striped rose for 60% off the normal price. I also bought some new plants for my Fall/Winter window boxes. By the time we were done shopping our food was ready to pick up. The kids had wonton soup, and chicken sticks with peanut sauce. I had a really good duck curry. Oh I wish I was in Thailand! Still, my stomach is really happy. So are the kids! I'm taking a nap while the kids watch Mr. Bean takes a Holiday!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

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
