Finished picture of all the hard work in the new trailer.

CRANK it UP!!!

This is just one of the reasons I love NASCAR!! It is almost impossible not to get hooked on all that speed and sound..... CAN'T wait until the next race of this year......Not sure when that might be.

Lots of work!!

Bug is really no help!!

Like the green fish in the tub... any ideas how to get them out?

YUCK!! the window trim is ridiculous and that white thin board on the wall had to go.....

Kelly made new ones!! He is such a great husband!!!

Kelly really thinking about changing the vinyl

floor....... any guesses.... yep!

What a difference a color makes!

You can see why Kelly was having a hard time keeping the old carpet. I need to get a final finished picture and post it. This was a lot of work but worth every minute...our new trailer is like new!!!!! Can't wait to spend some time camping this summer.

What a great player!!

Sh'Kell had a Piano Recital today and she did a GREAT job! It is AMAZING how far she has come in just over a year. She is growing up into a very special girl, I am proud of her and hope she knows how much we all love her! Keep up the good work girl!!!!

Ways to Use Coffee Filters ...

{I got these ideas in an email, but I thought they were good enough to share}

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, or chicken fingers on them. Soaks out all the grease.

Pay it Forward

So, I got this from a friend. The first 3 people to leave a comment on this will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift. Let's see who looks at my blog!

New Trailer

This Friday Kelly was off.. so we went looking for a new camp trailer... I was hopeful that we may be able to find something in our price range. We have a nice older trailer.. but Kelly is tired of having to make up and down the bed every night!! And since he is such a good man... we needed to try and fix this. SO THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND.......



It looks a little crowded.. but there is a huge slide out that is IN...





This is the kitchen.... NOTICE the
sad wooden table... well there is NO TABLE/BOOTH or a COUCH....... But we will have to take care of that... nothing big. LOL!

The picture on the right is the view in up into the bedroom. Bathroom in on the left and there is a nice closet on the right.

I am excited I never thought we would be able to pull this off.... HOPEFULLY we will have it all together so that we can take it out on the maiden voyage the end of the month to NASCAR in Vegas!!! For sure it will be ready for the turkey hunt in May!!!!
