Hi Beatlejohn,
Have you loaded up Stellarium on your computer or an Android tablet?
Another easy to use Android app is Mobile Observatory. It can provide a suggested list of targets.
There's the Trifid Nebula (M20) and the Lagoon nebula nearby (M8). Both should be visible from the backyard. Eta Carinae (NGC 3372) is getting on to the west but should still be visible early in the evening.
There are a number of apps for phones, tablets and computers that will help you find targets, best search string is Planetarium software.
