Birthdays

Well this has been a memorable month for birthdays. I turned 50 on the 4th Stephanie was 30 on the 12th & Tony will be 28 tomorrow. Where did the time go? I certainly don't feel 50 and it seems hard to believe that I have a 30 year old daughter but I am & I do. Unfortunately most of the pictures I had of my kids when they were little I lost in storage so I will have to see what dad has and hopefully I will get some pictures of Stephanie & Tony up soon. Happy Birthday Stephanie & Tony!

Our Project

Here is what Joe & I have been doing with our free time. This is my father-in -laws front yard, it is 1/3 of an acre & until a few days ago you couldn't see any ground. Joe's dad used to own a scrap yard & when he retired he brought home his favorite stuff, kinda our own version of Sanford & Son. Unfortunately the Oxnard City Code Enforcement has decided it's time to clean up, so after 30 some years of collecting it has to be gotten rid of or stored in a container. We got a permit for 8 20' cargo containers, so far we have 2 actually on site. We have to fill them up to make room for the rest. Today Joe & his dad are building shelves in the containers so they can better utilize the space. Joe is hoping to convince his dad to get rid of the majority but this is no easy task! My job in all of this? Take pictures & list the sellable stuff online...Wish us luck & I will let you know how it goes.

Here I Go

So I've been reading everyone's blogs & I guess it's about time to jump on the bandwagon... this is all new to me so hopefully as time goes by the layout will improve. My boys kept telling me they would help me with the setup but when it came right down to it seems like they were always too busy to help out mom, so here I go... this is definitely all mine & we will see where it takes me. I know I've enjoyed keeping up on everybodies doings. I feel a lot more connected to my family & if blogging does that then it's a good thing.
