Just Stuff

I have little things that have come to mind to write about, but haven't sat down to add them. I have to remind myself that I am doing a blog so that I can chronicle/journal my children's childhood. Sometimes I think I am a weekly columnist and have to have a theme or topic to write about.
The weather in Vegas is starting to cool down. We are able to enjoy a chilly low of 83 degrees now. The daytime has also dipped a few degrees to around 100-103. I am really looking forward to the next month when it will get even better. I remember Vicki always saying that if you could bear the four hot months of summer in Vegas, the rest of the year was fabulous. (I don't think she said, "fabulous," but you know what I mean.)
I am back to trying to come up with ways to earn extra money. Rhonda and I went "yard saling" last Saturday. We found a great wooden bunk bed with a built in desk and a separate chest of drawers and mirror. They sold it to us for $100. We have been working on refurbishing it. It looks really good. We only have to put the Satin finish on it and then it will be ready to resell. We also found what we call "roadkill." These people here in Summerlin put perfectly good furniture out on the side of the road. (Say that with my white trash accent.) What can I say, we will do anything for a buck. We picked up some roadkill on Saturday--a nice TV stand. It was out for the trash as it appeared the family dog had it's way with the corners. We took it home and built out the corners with some wood glue, dry mix, and such. We are also in the process of re-finishing it.
I am starting back up on my credit restoration business. I enjoy it. Would enjoy it more if someone actually paid me to fix their credit for them. I have my blog going and am working on a website. I have all my numbers--800#, fax, phone, etc. My ads are out--just waiting for the phone or email to overflow.
Lane is finally starting to get a back tooth. Poor kid has had his front four top and bottom since he was 5-7 months old and hasn't gotten any more. The twins say he is turning into a "Sharp Tooth." Their "Land Before Time" reference. Sometimes they'll yell, "Watch out! Here comes the Sharp Tooth!" Lane just grins and chases after them. They are totally into The Land Before Time series. We found some clearance toys that were squishy dinosaurs at Target. They were only a $1.48. Porter immediately named his Spike and Madison calls hers Sara. They are actually the same type of each of those--but not TLBT brand. They take those dinosaurs everywhere with them. It's the best $1.48 spent this month.
I went to the temple this morning with Rhonda. It was really nice. I haven't been for about 3 weeks now. I was going every week and have really missed it. They say the temple cannot be described in words to those who have not been. And, words are not necessary to describe it to those who have.
