only good news

Today Nicole gave away 100's of plants she started from seeds.  And people were very generous towards her.  She has raised over 500 Euros towards here missions trip to Cyrus in the fall.  I’m very proud of the hard work and love she has put into this project. 

I also talked a long time with my brother.  He and his wife Amy are going to come to our Anniversary party this fall.  And they will travel with my sister Dianna, Nicole and I to Italy for a 10 day trip.  We hope to go to Venice, and all over Tuscany.  It is going to be Amazing!  And Amy’s sister is also considering coming.  A few more friends of mine are also considering the trip.  So a total of 6 to 8 of us will go on this trip.  My van can only hold 8 people.  But I am really happy about this great adventure!  We will have BIG FUN!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

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
