Juergen got there safe





Juergen called this afternoon.  He said his flight had been delayed almost 2 hours.  When he arrived in San Francisco, he had to stand in a customs line that took 1 ½ hours.  So you can imagine he was pretty tired!  But he did manage to stay awake until after 9pm US time.  And he got to eat Mexican food.  So life is fine!  I had a hard time sleeping last night.  The weather has been very hot and humid.  And I  never sleep well when Juergen is away.  But it is raining today.  It’s cooler outside.  I’m glad for that.  Nicole started her part time job working for a gardener.  She enjoyed it. She will be working 2 days a week this summer.  That leaves her time to paint.  And perhaps she will have enough money to record one of her songs professionally.  That is her goal.  Sarah and Thomas are out playing soccer.  Philip is watching an old movie.  Jess is taking a nap.  And I’m starting a new book.  It is a pretty slow day because of the rain.  I’m baking some chicken.  The kids will like that.  They have always loved chicken and rice.  I pretty much just try to survive when Juergen is away.  I don’t anticipate any great creativity.  Certainly not without good sleep.  Nothing is every right without Juergen here.  He makes me feel safe, and I can always count on him.  I don’t like being a single mom!

Glad Juergen's safe, Eric and I are at a conference in VA.
I know what you mean, feeling like a single mom, now it's feeling like a widow with no one at home.
Eric is gone one week out of every months and sometimes it's more. It's been like that for years. It was especially hard when the girls were little.
Now I just save my big projects for when he's gone.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. 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
