A nice weekend

Juergen and I went to a movie with friends last night. Afterwards the 2 of us went out to eat. It was very nice just to get out, without the kids. Our babysitter has been taking her University exams. She has been too busy studying to babysit. So I'm grateful the exams are over. Happy for her, and for us!
Today church was very good. And after lunch I even got a nap. Then I watched a movie with the kids. I'm tired! I'm tired of renovation. I am so ready to just move on with life. Our party is in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to the party. We will try to organize it, and prepare it all ahead of time. A little each day, so it's not too overwhelming! I hope that works. For me it's like a wedding. Stress, joy, then finally the marriage starts! The new house, and life in this house doesn't really feel real yet. I'm hoping the party will be the starting point for me. The celebration of a new beginning. And I'm trying hard to let God deal with the house in Leimen. Perhaps I'll try to explain what I'm learning about process and trust.

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
