Remodeling the Basement or the Blair Witch Basement!

Well, the man of the house has been working in the "Pit" for three months now! We have purchased the paint when it was on sale at Home Depot. We got $5.00 of each gallon of paint and primer so we were happy about that. We also got the light fixtures, when we got the paint at Home Depot. We have also purchased curtains, pillows, and blinds which were 60% off at Penny's! So I saved some money which always makes me happy. We plan to start painting the first week of August. That is after the patching has had its time to cure.
Tight is a family word when it comes to spending money. We still have a lot to buy before we are finished. The couch, TV, computer table, etc. It doesn't matter if it takes a few more months to finish so we can have the money to purchase the other things.
All in all it will be nice when it is finished.

Fun in Mesquite!

We had a good time this week playing Keno, Hot Penny, Jacks or Better, etc. Had the best time playing Hot Penny. You have to get three of the same bonuses to be able to get 15 free spins. I was down to 56 cents and I hit it. My first spin I got $200.00. Wow! I was excited. By the end of the round I had won the $100.00 that I had put in plus $300.00 for the round. I was stoked. The next day we went to the Virgin River to play. I sat down at the same kind of machine and won $122.00 on the round. It kept hitting the bonuses.
We walked over to the Eureka Casino and we found a Denver Duck game. The used to have them in Wendover but they paid so well that they took them away. The only had one in Mesquite and we found it! It was fun to play but it still took my money.
All in all we had a good time and we played on their money which is even better.
We came to Beaver and took Lisa and Paul to dinner at the Can Cun Restaurant. Mexican food! Love it. I had enchilada Verdes and it was hot! Didn't know that Verdes was a hot sauce. Went back to Lisa's and we picked peas and raspberries. Lisa made raspberry shakes. Yum!!!! Then we watch 10,000 BC. It was a very interesting show. It was done well and it was interesting.
Okay! I am being very wordy and now I have just started my first blog spot. They are fun and very interesting. I hope that I will be able to keep this up and keep you all informed of what we are doing. Just for your fun and info. I will try to show videos that I take a family events.
