In the air!!!

Juergen called me from Seattle and said they wanted to bump him for $800. I said ok, but felt sad! Anyway, they didn't need to bump him. He is in the air, and I'm so glad I'll see him in about 14 hours (by God's grace)!!! Money is nice, but Juergen is nicer! The kids have been great, but 10 days is really long!
I told each of the kids Juergen would not be coming home until Tuesday. They were sad, but brave. We prayed and said goodnight. Then I got Juergen's call saying they did not need to bump him. Maybe I will not tell the kids he is coming. Then they will each get a special surprise!

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
