a good dinner

We just had a very good family dinner. Nicole baked two different cheeses. She and Sarah peeled carrots. I cleaned and cut up celery sticks. Thomas set the table and made some toast. Philip washed the strawberries. And Philip and Sarah helped be melt chocolate. So we had fresh veggies dipped in a good French cheese, and strawberries and bananas dipped in chocolate. And everyone helped, and everyone was full and happy. I know no better way to eat your fruit and vegetables! And I'm happy knowing Juergen is coming home (God willing) tomorrow. And God willing, his times of over time are over for awhile. It's been a real stress! Please still pray that Jessica sleeps well tonight. A good nights sleep was such a good gift. I feel a million times better today.

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.

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
