Goodbye

Juergen and I got up at 5am. I made the coffee, and he packed the car. Everyone but Jessica got up to say goodbye. I didn't ask the kids to do that, they wanted to. I think that's sweet. There was not much time to say goodbye, just a few long hugs. Nicole and I both cried as the car pulled away. I had no words. I just wish we didn't live so far apart. I thank God for the time we had together. I hope to make a trip to America soon. I value the company of my family. Juergen drove them to Frankfurt and checked them in. They were to have the last row in the plane (3 seats). And Dad's wheel chair was to be lifted directly to the plane. Hopefully it's a more comfortable flight. They are already on their way. My brother will pick them up. They will have jet lag. I think they will need to rest a few days before Mom is able to drive home. I have spent the whole morning eating chocolate and watching a garden DVD. I am pretty sad. But I'll be ok in a few days.

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
