A day of rest

Juergen was at his dad's this weekend. Richard is doing fine. Juergen worries about him but he is doing really ok. I can never sleep well when Juergen is away. But he got home last night, and I could sleep. And today I sat with Jessica for two hours in McDonalds. She just loves to sit there and watch people, so this is what we did. She is so sweet! I love her so much! And I watched a movie and just got some rest. The kids have had fall vacation. They are good kids but it takes it out of me when they are on vacation. So I’m happy school begins again tomorrow. I have already begun to pack for my trip to America. I got Philip the travel document he needs to come into the states (ESTA). I look forward to the trip. Juergen took this photo of Sarah's soccer team. Thomas is one of the coaches. He also plays soccer on a team.

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
