Happy New Year!

2007 and 2008 were both hard years for us. I think God gave us grace and rest in 2009. I feel like I can dream again. One of the things I dream of is moving to a larger house with a bigger yard. Here is one more house I will try to look at this week. It has 8 bedrooms (room for an office and guest room). I'm not sure of the yard. It maybe too small? I love the wood stoves and the winter garden. We will see! We had a great party last night. I'll load photos and video soon. Do you have dreams for the New Year? The sad thing about stress is it robs you of your vision. I've been there. I'm so grateful to God I am not there right now. I know that can change...but for today I am glad!

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
