Our party

Nicole and I wrote a new invitation to our housewarming party/my 50th birthday party. I am now trying to gather e-mail addresses. I want to send the invitation electronically. I am having a time trying to get all the addresses. I hope I don't miss anyone important, but I know I will. I'm hoping to get RSVP's so I can plan better. God willing, that party will be Nov 12th. The dedication party for Anna is Oct 16th. That will be for 40 people (15 are kids). So you can say Anna's party is a warm-up to the housewarming. The men are finishing the tile in our winter garden/back porch today. Philip, Sarah and Thomas start their soccer today too. That reminds me, I need to shop for sports cloths. It's a beautiful day. My favorite kind of fall day! I hope the nice weather lasts awhile. I can see the birds beginning to migrate. I have a good view from my office window. It's really hard to believe it's already October. I will be happy to get back to "normal" life, without boxes and renovation! It will happen.

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
