My birthday

I'm having a very nice birthday. Juergen took the morning off and took Philip, Thomas and I out to breakfast. And Philip agreed to go to America with me for Thanksgiving. So if I can get a ticket, Philip will travel with me. And when we got home, a very big truck arrived with 2 tons of good soil for my garden. It will take us awhile to move that mountain of dirt, but it is beautiful! I got many phone calls and loads of e mails. And a very good friend came for coffee. The kids have fall vacation right now. I've planned a birthday party in a few weeks. My birthday always lands in the vacation. We are watching a new DVD and eating Pizza for dinner. I'm so thankful for my friends and family. I have a really good life. God has richly blessed me.

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
