Around the world



Jessica was born in the USA. She had heart surgery when she was 3 months old. Her first International trip was to Germany when she was 6 months old. She also traveled to Holland and Austria and Belgium on that trip. She then went to Mexico and Canada before her 2nd birthday. She has been to Thailand 4 times, China, and Israel , Cyprus and all over Europe. Sometimes it amazes me how much she has seen...but she is like Forest Gump. Amazing experiences seem to be common to her, but she is little effected by them. Sadly, common things like having a best friend, birthday parties, sleep overs etc have not been her experience. We would never have chosen this isolated yet extraordinary life for our daughter. It is what it is. One of my best memories is of Jessica in Israel the day she was baptized in the Jordan River. What a beautiful young women she is!

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
