A word from Jessica

Some of you know I gave a special advent calendar to Juergen this year. Today I got a very special note of love to him from Jessica. Jess is our 19 year old non verbal autistic daughter. She is so sweet and every word from her is gold! It was in German.

F: Was liebst du an Papa?

A: Er ist immer freundlich und großer Mann mit Herz für Kinder.

F:Was möchtest du Papa schenken?

A: Freie Zeit mit mir im Car und am Kometengeist der Lichter große Sorgen weg.

In English is basically reads

Q: What kind of characteristics do you love on dad?

A: He's always friendly. A great man with a heart for kids.

Q: What do you want to give daddy for christmas?

A: Free time with me in the Car and at the comet spirit of the lights(a bright spirit) large concerns away (free of concerns).

I love the words "A Comet Spirit of Lights"! Only Jessica could put it in such a beautiful way!

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
