so sorry

a rose snow Pictures, Images and Photos

I woke up this morning with Juergen telling me how cold it was outside. It was -10 C. I thought what an awful day for a funeral. An 18 year old girl in our church died from a flu last week. Her funeral was today. I guess it wouldn't matter if it was raining, sunshine or freezing cold outside. How could any parents deal with the sudden loss of a daughter...especially one so young? But somehow the bitter cold seemed to add insult to injury. What a great loss. Juergen and Nicole went to the funeral. I stayed home with the kids. I still cried. They have a hope they will see her in heaven. Still, they had hoped to witness her graduation in only a few short months. She was so young and had her whole life ahead of her. The loss is great...I feel so much grief. I did not know her but I have an 18 year old daughter and a 16 year old too. I can imagine the pain, and I hope I will never experience it myself. Mickey our dog sat in my lap. He cried with me. I pray the family knows what it is like to be held up by the loving arms of God. I pray God carry’s them and holds them up.

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
