Busy but good week

Thomas bagan school, and we had to figure out the transportation there and back. I think we have it worked out. Juergen takes him to SAP where he can catch a direct bus to school. Then Thomas rides the bus to Sandhausen after school and I pick him up from there. He could ride a bus home to Leimen from Sandhausen, but he would need to wait an extra half hour. So for now that is how it will work. He enjoyed his first week. He feels included, and the level of work is a bit lighter(easier). So he got an A on his first math test. He has no more French. One of his teachers is also the leader of his summer camp. And He plays soccer ever day! It was a good beginning!

Sarah had her 8Th birthday this week. Her party is today. Juergen took 4 of her friends to jump in an indoor play park. He can make phone calls and get some work done while the kids run and play.

I just finished a slide show for my church. it's for 3 baby dedications. That took a few hours but I think it turned out OK. I have been really run down this week. I guess I'm still a little sick. At least that is how it feels. I guess it just takes awhile to fully recover from stuff.

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
