Our Sixth Anniversary

By Pamela

 Today, we celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary.


My husband will tell you all we have only been dating six months. He never lets the truth get in the way of his story!


Six years ago we merged and created our blended family.  I am not gonna lie to you all, it has not been all roses. Merging a family is hard work. There have been some thorns. But we faced them together and have come out stronger.


Six years of feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. The year before we met, I had my palms read. The reader told me I would met my life partner and we would travel together. I wonder if  our little pop-up camper is what she had in mind?


 I don't know about him, but I look forward to the next six years.  Our oldest will be finishing college. Our youngest starting middle school. Our lives are always moving so fast.

The Boy is not with us this weekend so the Husband gave me my anniversary present early so the whole family could be there. He gave me a Pandora Bracelet. I have always wanted one. I am not sure I have ever told him that. That is how good he is.  He started me off with three charms. Initials of our children and a rose.

He also had my rings cleaned. They are super sparkly and beautiful.


I have not give him his present yet. I am super excited about it!

I am amazed at how quickly these past six years have zipped past us. Happy Anniversary dear Husband. Thank you for loving me. I hope you know that I love you to infinity and beyond! I am glad that you are my travel companion and life partner. I love how you have taken The Boy under your wing. Yes, you ride him pretty hard but I know you love him. I love seeing your tender side every single time you look at our daughter. Thank you for allowing me to soar. And thank you for grounding me when I need it!


 I love that every year you accompany me to movie's you have no desire to see just because I want to see every film nominated for an Oscar. I love it that you even like some of them.I love that you like to go camping with me. You grump about all the stuff I take but you always pack it for me.  I will happily pack you a picnic lunch and accompany you fishing any time!

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...

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...

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...
