HAPPY NEW YEARS!
an hour and a half early -- probably will be in bed at midnight.GERMANY -- My german grandparents talked about how worthless money was after WWI [they came here approx. 1906, but relatives were still there, some coming over here after WWI]. The 'wheelbarrel of money to buy anything'. But also remember them saying it wasn't worth it for farmers to sell anything. That even if a small potato sold for thousands of marks, you couldn't buy anything with the money once you sold the potato -- which you at least could eat. Also remember them saying how they tried and tried to get various relatives to come to America after Hitler got in power to 'be safe' and how the remaining relatives in Germany said 'everything is going to be fine over here now'. Some of those relatives no one was able to figure out what happened to them after the war.
Today's project was cleaning the Chicken Coop. They aren't overly thrilled. Chickens don't like change.
