Better days to come!

I have not seen my parents for 2 years. That's a crime! I miss them so much. Today Juergen let me buy them tickets. The prices are about to double (the price will literally double tomorrow), and my dad was going to lose his miles soon. So we took the opportunity to buy tickets when we could still afford them. They will come (God willing) March 20th. We probably won't do much. My dad isn't so mobile anymore. But I'm so grateful he can come at all. It's a long trip. I do hope they can manage the long trip OK. I am happy...so very happy! None of these other worries with the house in Leimen really count. I’m going to see my parents. I’ll help my Mom celebrate her birthday. We will have Easter together. They haven’t seen the kids for 3 years. They get to see Nicole’s art. They will see my garden. I’ll cook my dad shrimp. It’s going to be wonderful! Thank you God for your amazing goodness!

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
