Refinishing Desk Chair- Sanding

For refinishing my desk chair the first step was to ruff it up or sand it down. It has been many colors and it has another one to go. To see how I learned to refinish click (here).

Enjoy the Moments

As I was at a soccer game for one of my brothers I was reminded that we need to enjoy the everyday moments in life by my younger brother as he was playing with a lady bug. 

There are so many joys in life we just need to find them.

Beautiful Green Grass

Warm Cookies from out of the Oven

Plants Beginning to grow

I was also reminded of the joys of life when we went to a pond and there were geese. The younger kids eyes and face as they chased them around.

"Sub" Sandwiches

 One of my jobs this summer was to make lunch everyday. One of my favorite lunch ideas so far has been "sub sandwiches" I just got a couple kinds of cheese and meat, french baget bread,  some lettuces, mustard, just throw in some fruit, and you are SET! 

* This would also be great in a school lunches  

Temple Trip

I had an amazing experience when I went to the temple with my family to get my sisters baptism pictures.  We where taking pictures when Sister Reeves and Sister Durham (she is the new 2nd counselor in the primary presidency) where getting a tour of the temple ground. An amazing experience that I will never forget! Click (here) for another post about the general women's leaders.
