The Day Before School Starts

By Pamela
It is the day before school  starts. Here are 20 things going on around our house:

1.) The Husband is at work.

2.) The Husband does not know that I did not go to work today.
3.) The Short Chic is having a play date.


4.) I got my car washed and detailed today. Finally, it is clean!
5.). The water to our neighborhood has been shut off while a leak has been repaired.
6.) My BodyMedia stopped working today. I have to send it in to get a new one.


7.)  While practicing driving today, The Boy ran a red light. Yes, with his mother in the car!

8.) I made it to the bank today.
9.) I got an oil change on my car.
10.)The Boy, his romantic interest and I went to Red Mango.



11.) The Boy and I have spent the day watching The Little League World Series.
12.) I made it to the Redbox to return movies.
13.) I took a nap in my rocking chair.
14.) The Boy took a nap as well.

15.) The Boy and I have gotten all his school supplies ready and packed away in a backpack.
16.)  I have a super cool boss that will allow me to stay home and spend this last day with The Boy before school starts!
17.) I actually like my hair today.

18.) I got to see a baseball mom. We stopped by her place of work. I miss baseball mom's after baseball season!
19.) Since I spent hours pre-cooking food on Friday, dinner is in the fridge and just needs to be heated!
20.) I can't believe summer vacation has come to an end and that tomorrow my little boy will be a sophomore!

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

By Pamela
August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

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...
