Dreamin' Big!

By Pamela
Missouri Powerball is tonight. The jackpot is 550 million dollars.

That is the second highest jackpot in Powerball history.

I am sure I am not alone in allowing myself to dream about winning it.

Dream. At least for a few moments.

What am I dreaming about?


  1. A new home. One with an indoor basketball court and walk-in closets!
Of course the house would also have to have a great kitchen. A crafting room. A play room. And plenty of room for the kids and their friends.


                                Lakeview Chicago mansions

2. A lake home.

Wouldn't a home on a lake be a great place to spend your weekends. Think of the family memories.

                               

3. Maybe a new car?

Absolutely...a new car would be in order!

                   
                             

4. And of course, I would need a new boat to go with the lake house.

                              

5. I know everyone says they would, but I would not quite my job. But I would travel.

All over the place. England. Ireland. Tuscany.  Hawaii. Easter Islands. New York City. Greece. New Zealand. China. Bora Bora. I get excited just thinking about it!

                              

Okay, dreaming is all over! The dishes are calling my name. {WAIT! Is it too late to add a housekeeper to my list!}

Oh yeah, and I need to go buy a ticket!

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...

By Pamela
I have known Jenn K for a while now but I recently discovered a passion of hers. She loves educating people about animals and loves to share her passion for animals with others. Jenn K is a Wildlife Education Exhibitor and owns and operates Exotics-R-Us . She has a crew existing of  human helpers as well as phenomenal animals that make up Exotics-R-Us. Exotics-R-Us has been showing animals for a decade. You might have seen them at many local schools, hospitals, 4-H camps, local businesses, training's, retirement facilities, Boy Scout events, Girls Scout events, as well as fairs and festivals. They are even regulars at Mid-Continent Public Library educating young crowds about these animals and their care. I recently caught up with Jenn and her Exotics-R-Us crew at a private birthday party. At this party Exotics-R-Us brought nine different species of animals and ten total animals to the party. The animals are just as involved as the staff at Exotics-R-Us when deciding w...
