More from the Villa and the day

We had a very relaxing day. We ate well slept well and played well.

The kids played soccer and went swimming and played video games. Jessica watched movies on her computer. After yesterdays long drive she didn’t want to leave her room. But I still gave her a shower and she came to the table for lunch. She seems happier here. Juergen and I got to go shopping together. The store was a zoo. We got enough food for the rest of the week. The only thing I want to buy now are plants. Sarah and Juergen showed me around the villa. We also played a board game together. Nicole painted. And Nicole and I started to listen to the audible book “John Adams”. John Adams was the 2nd President of the USA, and my great grandfather about 6 generations back (really). I’m also reading a book called “Growing in the Prophetic” by Mike Bickle. Juergen and I both think this would be a very good location for a vacation with friends. They have 4 large apartments here, and a few single houses besides that. The rent is pretty good. Maybe we can find a few friends who would like to spend 2 weeks in Italy next May? We could rent the whole place, each family having their own space. Groups of people taking day trips, eating together, playing music and just having a good time. I think it could be nice with the right group of friends.

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
