First day of school

Philip was gone before I got up. He loves school. He doesn't care much about learning. It's just a good social club to him. Thomas doesn't like school. That's because he has trouble with friends. But he is smarter then Philip. And Sarah was happy to go today. She will start in the 3rd class. We want her to go to the 2nd grade. The teacher said we would talk. They may not have space in the 2nd class. I know they will pressure us to keep her in the 3rd grade. But they don't see Sarah melt down from the stress of home work that's too hard for her. I feel out numbered. But I'm praying a place opens up for her. I'm praying she can move into the 2nd grade. I feel it's very important to firm up her foundation before we move forward. She can go farther in the long run if she is really strong in the basics. I'm making grape juice from beautiful grapes my friend gave me. I need to wash our walk ways. There is allot of work to do to get ready for the party we host on Saturday. Jessica is out with her teacher. So it will be a very busy week of hard work. God help us!

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
