A dream

Do you ever have dreams? I had a dream this morning. It was very clear. I woke up to it. I'm still trying to figure out the meaning. There were 4 sisters. All young women in their 20's. Each one beautiful, talented, smart and gifted. They were also Jewish. It was early in the war, in Germany. They lived in Bad Schönborn and they needed to get out of the country. The one sister was the most beautiful, gifted and talented of the 4. She decided to rely on herself. She tried to get out of Germany but got caught. I can only guess she was killed. It was very sad. I can see her. She had long black hair. she looked allot like Amy Winehouse. So tragic. The other 3 trusted a loyal friend. He was a postman. He delivered packages in a big truck. They waited in the restroom of a gas station. The delivery man parked his truck next to the restroom. They got in the truck when he went in the station to drop off packages. He drove them to France. They took a plane to safety. They left with nothing but their lives. That was my dream. It made me think of the family that built our house. They were Jewish. They built the house 5 years after the war. How did they get through the war? Where did they go? Why did they come back? Across the street from our house is a train station. I know they gathered all the Jewish people in the area and shipped them to concentration camps from the station across the street. I think about how nice our house is. But it doesn't matter what you have, how beautiful or rich you are. It can all be taken away from you. And when you want to get to heaven, you can not rely on your own ability. You need the help of a friend named Jesus. He is the only way to escape death. But you can trust him.



( I copied all this info off the internet)
This memorial commemorates the deportation, on 22 October 1940, of the Jewish residents of Bad Schönborn, Langenbrücken and Mingolsheim to Gurs concentration camp. From here, they were deported to the extermination camps

•Up to 1878 burial of Jews from Bad Mingolsheim took place in the communities cemetery of Obergrombach .
•There is a memorial in the cemetery honoring the Jews from this community who were murdered during the Nazi regime 1933 - 1945.

There is a CEMETERY for Jews : Konradin-Kreutzer-Strasse (in Ă–stringen 76684). It was in use from 1878 to 1939. There are 154 graves there.


Karl Steinbach built our house. He was buried in Bad Schönborn, not in the Jewish cemetery. He lived here from the 1950’s. And his family is not in the cemetery. Maybe they are not from here? I’ve heard he was rich. He gave the land to Bad Schönborn for the schools. I’ve seen his grave in the local cemetery. He was a rich man. Our house was built as an Italian Villa. It was well built with very fine material and fine architecture. I wish I knew more about this family.

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
