Look what the sun can do in Vegas

Ok, so I was trying to get some sunshine to my plant. I put it out on our patio for the day and this is what happened. I am very bad plant owner. Yes one day in the Las Vegas sun

will burn your beatiful plants to a crisp. It kind of looks like age spots. Not funny....(inside my head there is a bit of a chuckle) Wednesday is full of drama drama drama. But now I am going to go and read a bit of this Vampire book. I am 1/2 done and honestly I hope it gets better.

Smile's all around

Make a Smilebox greeting I often sit in church on Sunday morning and as the Relief Society asks is there any good new minutes you would like to share, I rack my brain to see if there is some small thing that happened out of the ordinary, other than my husband managed to put his dirty clothes in the hamper and not on the floor. But then as we were eating dinner tonight I said to Rain, it just makes me smile. Yes my good news is the shelf's are up in my kitchen and all my turtles have one place to call home. I have seen this picture in my head since we started cleaning and painting and now it is done. Yippie, hooray, cheer, shout and me dancing all about. Well here are a few pictures of them "The Shelf's".

It takes a tag from my sister.......

It takes a tag from my sister for a post. I really have tryed to think of something fun and new going on in Vegas here, but really we go to work come home watch a bit of TV then head to bed. We are boring, I think we are ready for the end of summer and cooler weather, but not ready for the long dark nights with the time change comming up. Here are my answers to Beth's tag.



I usually: leave the dirty dishes in the sink till the morning or until Rain does them.
I search: for my glasses,humor,beauty
I wonder: how artists see the beauty they create
I regret: only one thing, I try not to have regrets

I care: at times way to much
I always: cry when something sad or happy happens "Water works is me"
I worry: how strong am I going to have to be
I am not: frugal
I remember: Tent city's in our basement
I believe: in truth
I dance: when I have to clean the kitchen
I sing: to Chuck each morning before I go to work
I don’t always: act on my first impulse, I have to weigh the good/bad
I argue: with myself
I write: but don't always make sense, my brain goes way to fast for my fingers
I win: the best family in the world
I lose: patience with myself
I wish: hurtful words could never be spoken
I listen: but sometimes not enough
I don't understand: people who can't laugh
I can usually be found: working on something.
I am scared: of animals in the water
I need: always another purse
I forget: peoples names
I am happy: quite often

8.8.08 otherwise know as the CAMPOUT!

The time has come and gone to fast. This past weekend up in the Spruces with my Nelson family. All the aunts and uncles their kids and their kids. I think the kids kids out number the adults now. It was so good to see everyone, and to be in the mountains with you all. I have a very wonderful family and for that I am grateful. I loved the wonderful meals, time spent playing games, and of course the roasting of marshmellows and starbursts thank you all!

This year Benjamin, McKenzie, Rainier, and I took our walk around silver lake to enjoy the beauty and I have to report Ben did not drop the camera in the Lake, that might be because MeKenzie would not let him touch the camera. Saved them some money this year.

What would a campout be with out Moose? How lucky we were to see these amazing animals up close and personal. Grandpa Nelson would have loved it, watching all his little mooses watching a Moose or two.

Good Bye....

Carrie moved home. My best girlfriend moved home;( I am sad for me but very excited for her and this new chapter of her life starting. We spent the last two days trying to do everything we could. Lunch out at Margarita Ville, seeing Mama Mia(the movie), dinner at Jerry's Nugget, and watching two water shows at the Bellagio. I am glad she never tires of seeing the show.

I will miss her fiercely. You see we moved down to Las Vegas in 2004 to start a new adventure, worked at the same company/same department, shared an apartment in the hood.

So here I am with anther new chapter in my book. Who am I going to talk to at work when everyone else is driving me crazy, she just better be caring her phone with text all the time.

You know it is hard to have your best girlfriend move away, but as she know when we are 82 years old and if still mobile we are hitting the town decked out in our finest.

I guess today I am Very grateful for a Best Girlfriend in Carrie. Love and miss her already an its only 3pm. I know she will read this soon so I just have to say "I love you more than my luggage"
