Fiesta Dinnerwear

By Pamela
PlateLine2009
I absolutely love bright colors. Which probably makes this choice so much harder!







I have had the same dishes for nearly 15 years. I started off with services for 8 and I am down to service for 6, maybe! I am thinking it might be time to update.

I am strongly considering Fiesta-wear. It is made right here in the USA, it is durable and quality stuff. And the colors! Oh how I love the colors. So, I am wondering, how many of you use Fiesta-wear? And what colors do you have? Did you pick a color scheme or just start collecting any and every color?

    Hey Pammie, so glad you liked my Blog-tips post.
    I didn't even think of security when i started blogging, but luckily after only 3-4 months reconsidered my use of the kids' real names. "Luckily" becuase what a JOB to go back through all the old posts and change them all! It took me a while to come up with a good name for my daughter; she started off as Missy... then Princess... then eventually I found myself calling her Miss fab, and it stuck.
    The funny thing is how my kids love their blognames! My son even got his name embroidered on his school cap - "Dash".

    I'll be writing another blog tips post in the next week or so - I get lots of questions about my photo collages, so I'll be doing a toutorial on that :)

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

By Pamela
Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

By Pamela
The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil.  We had to immediately see an ENT  Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed.  We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy.  Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery vi...
