Today is the big game

Germany plays their opening game in the World Cup today. We are still a little sick so we will be watching at home. Sarah was up half the night with a fever. She still has a small fever, but I'm pretty sure she'll be fine for school. I'm tired but better. So far everyone else is fit.
I have been watching the progress my sister Shelley has been making on her beautiful garden. She has a small park! My brother Rickey is getting married to Amy on Saturday. I'm sorry I will not be there. I'm glad I went to Oregon to help Mom when she got out of the hospital. I think I did the right thing, but It also cost me missing the wedding. I also did it for Juergen. He is a new elder at our church. The church has a retreat this coming weekend. Juergen really wanted our family to attend the retreat. If I was at the wedding, Juergen could not manage our 5 kids (especially Jessica) alone. So this coming weekend Juergen will help lead worship at the retreat, and I'll be there to support him. I guess that's life. You can not have it all... I definitely have my thoughts on my family in Oregon. I'm excited for Rick and Amy. It will be a beautiful wedding. My heart is there!

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
