Hope



I made a slide show of the Villa I'm hoping we will get in Lapta, North Cyprus. It is an old villa on over one acre of land. The fruit trees are mature. We are allowed to pick the fresh lemons, oranges, and figs (Jessica loves figs) . The view of the sea looks amazing. There is a baker with in walking distance. We could have fresh bread every morning, and cake to go with our coffee every afternoon. This is the kind of place you could just hang out in. I want to relax and soak in the sunshine. I want to spend hours in the private pool. I want to experience the beauty of old Europe. I don't want to feel compelled to go go go! So I am hoping this is finally the house. There are plenty of things to see and do near this villa, but for me this would be the place I want to spend my vacation. Of course the down side would be coming home to a non villa! I guess a person does not need to eat the finest food everyday in order to enjoy it! Juergen and I ate a 5 star meal at a castle in Belgium 15 years ago. I still remember that as the very best meal I ever had. You don’t need to live your whole life in a villa by the Mediterranean sea…but it would be wonderful to have the experience once. It would be so wonderful to give this experience to my brother. It’s the kind of thing you carry around in your heart. The days you can recall when the sky’s are dark. It’s not just momentary sunshine…it’s a deposit that remains forever.

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.

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what
