Maybe…

Maybe I should start going to storage unit auctions. I watch those shows on TV where people buy storage units for cheap and up making a lot of money sometimes and other times the units are filled with worthless junk. There have been some units filled with boats, rifle scopes, rare coins, old baseball cards and other rare and expensive items. The people on that show sometimes make more than 3 times what they spent on the unit.

I saw one show where the unit was filled with nothing but trash and I think one guy bid on it and got it for something like $5.

Now that I think about it… I don’t think I’d make much money. I’d see people’s personal items, like pictures and papers, and try to return the stuff to them.

Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is cool thing to get into. You can make lots of neat things using scrapbooking techniques. My daughter has made scrapbooks for the kids, you can make birth announcements, wedding invitations and more.

I haven’t gotten into scrapbooking yet but I’d like to give it a try. I want to make something for my mom, who is in a nursing home, with pictures of her grandkids and great grandkids for her to keep in her room. I know she would love it.

One of these days I will have the time and the money to give it a try and will post pictures of my projects.

A lot of time on my hands

Looks like I’m going to have a lot of time on my hands. I don’t mean a Patek Philippe watch either. I may not be called back to my job this season so I’ll have a lot of time to do organizing and stuff.

You can read why at ArmyMom. So I can get my closets cleaned out and organized (not that they don’t need it!). I can spend more time baking and more time on my poor neglected blogs. Can you believe that I haven’t even changed any of the themes in, at least, 3 months? I’m always changing themes. There have been times that I’ve changed a theme a couple times in 1 day.

I’ll just have to remember to take before and after pictures of my organizing so I have something to post about.

Memories

Back in 1972 or 1973 hubby and I took the 1st of our Disney vacations in Florida. I think they had recently opened and there were not a lot of people in the park. I have pictures to prove it. We took the kids back in 1986, I think, and it was a whole different story. The crowds were huge! The kids had a blast and we are glad we took them.

See the picture below? You won’t see the streets of Disney World looking like that now when the park is open. There were people there… there just weren’t a whole lot of them.

Worth a thousand words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words… that is if you have your camera with you.. and your batteries are charged or fresh… and your compact flash card is empty. If your batteries are dead then that picture is worth nothing.

I always download photos from my camera as soon as possible after taking pictures. When we went to Texas I downloaded every night when we stopped for the night. After we got home I transferred the pictures from the laptop to my desktop and then saved them to disk so I’ll always have them. It’s about time to do a photo backup again as I’ve added a lot more pictures to my desktop. It would be so sad if something happened to the desktop and those memories were lost.
