Juergen and Nicole in Italy



This is from our last trip to Italy. I'm trying to get Juergen to take the guitars again. When I video tape it, you will notice a real growth in Nicole's playing. She now helps lead worship. And Thomas and Philip also play. Philip is just starting (like in the past month) but Thomas can actually play pretty good for a beginner. I’ve made good progress cleaning and packing. Hopefully I’ll finish packing tomorrow. I show the house sitter around on Friday. I also need to bring Mickey to the dog hotel. I’m hoping I can get my hair cut before we go. We all need hair cuts. I'm getting very excited about the trip. They say traffic will be very bad going South. I think we will be leaving very early in the morning...like 4am. That part will not be fun!

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
