Thomas had a nice Birthday

It was Thomas' 15th birthday. We had a small family party. He will have a big party in a few weeks, after school starts. We want to take him to this indoor soccer hall where they can play soccer. The place also has a coach you can hire. I think the boys would love this. But it's the final week of summer vacation and most everyone is still gone! His gift still hasn't come in the mail. I ordered a new ipod. He was ok about having to wait. He has grown in patience and understanding. I'm glad about that. I ordered it over a week ago, but the mail doesn't always move as fast as you need it to.

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 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
