Good news, she said yes

My brother Rick asked his friend Amy to marry him. The good news is she said yes. We are all very happy for them both. I haven't been around to meet my new sister (I knew her in high school)...but I've observed her from afar. She seems to be the sweet, spiritual, strong and sensible sort of women I know my brother has been praying for. I'm very impressed at how well she has reached out to my whole family. She isn't the kind that wants to pull Rick away from his life, family and friends. Instead she has sought to fit into all he feels important. I'm certain he also embraces her world. That's really how it should be. I am shopping for airline tickets. I hope to be there this summer to give them my love and support. If you find a good wife, you find a good thing! Congratulation Rick and Amy!

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
