Final day, and then home

Today went by very fast. We slept until 10am. I would have liked to stay even longer in bed, but Oh well! Then we picked Cindy up from her dad's house. We put her stuff into a storage unit. Then we met old friends for lunch at a great Cambodian place. It was a sweet reunion! Then we went to the Mall of America. What a zoo! I didn't like it because it was so loud. Then we went to Target. Finally we had a nice talk with Cindy's dad. And we went out to dinner. The bags are packed, and we have a 17 hour trip home. Happy mothers day to my mom. I love you! And a good day to Philip. I need to sleep. Pray for our trip home. It has been an amazing week. I'll write more when I get home.

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
