I miss Juergen

Juergen is the one who gets Sarah on the bus. I got the boys off to school, then fell asleep. I forgot to wake Sarah up, so she missed the bus. So I took her to school. But we had a good talk. Her soccer coach wants to change the practice days to Monday and Wednesday next fall. She has her youth group on Wednesdays so she can not go. I asked her if she wanted to go to another activity. She wants to quit soccer and ride horses instead. I need to find out how much this will cost, but horseback riding is very good for the brain, and great for kids who have attachment issues. And on the way back home I picked up some old farm tools that were left by the side of the road. I will put them in my vegetable garden as art. I miss Juergen, but it still worked out good today.

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

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
