Wow!

Juergen and I just spent 3 hours talking with an energy person about new windows, heaters and insulation for our house in Bad Schönborn. It’s going to cost us a small fortune to renovate this old villa! Then Juergen got a call from a real Estate agent. The professor wants to buy our house in Leimen. We gave him an offer. I'll be holding my breath until we get an answer. Never in my wildest dreams!!! That would be more then I had thought or hoped!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

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
