a great way to spend a cold day

Nicole, Jessica and I are all sick with a bad cold. I spent two hours with Nicole looking at you tube videos on growing tomatoes. She is very interested in plants. We are both excited about our garden. I pulled out the seed catalog. Now that I know I'll have the space, I can dream of what I'll plant. I want the coolest veggies ever! Heirloom tomatoes grown for the taste, and sweet pepper in a variety of colors. I also want gourds to dry so Nicole can paint on them(just like she did in Cyprus last year). There are huge varieties of basil for different types of cooking. There are also a wide variety of salad lettuce. Oh, and potatoes!!! I love red potatoes! They cost so much in the store! I want a good cooking pumpkin, and a good carving pumpkin. What’s your favorite garden plant?

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
