we saw the house

At dinner last night I told the family about the villa. They rolled their eyes! But Juergen said he wanted to look it up on Google earth. So we looked at it. Before you knew it we decided to take a drive down to see it. Juergen had his navigator, and the address. I never would have found it. It is a half hour away. It is next to the S-ban, in a small village. The neighborhood is actually nice. There is a castle on the hill just above the house. My life is in Heidelberg, not Bruchsal. If I was willing to change everything (churches and schools) this place would be awesome. It is too big for us. Maybe if we had another family that wanted to buy it with us. We could have the down stairs, they could have the upstairs? It would take at least 100,000 Euro to whip it into shape. But for me it isn't going to happen. I have a love for old houses. It was great fun to find it. We had Sarah, Philip, and Jessica in the car. They all fell asleep. Juergen and I had a great talk about dreams. I think I would like to take a tour of the house on Saturday. But Realistically the answer is no. Jesus is preparing my house for me in heaven. My house has hardwood floors and a fireplace. I think the world should know I may live in an 1970 Row house with Brady Bunch architecture, but I love art deco. I'm too practical to move, but at least I can droll over the moldings!

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.

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

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
