Golden Birthday

By Pamela
I love birthday celebrations! They have long been important to me and as you might have already guessed, I go to long lengths to celebrate birthdays with my children.

Speaking of birthday's: this lovely lady had her Golden Birthday this week. Prior to this week, I am not sure I knew what a Golden Birthday was. Is this a new thing? Did we celebrate them when I was growing up and I am the only one who did not know? 


 A Golden Birthday is apparently when you are as many years old as the day of your birth. So, this lady turned 18 on the 18th. 

I guess I had a Golden Birthday. It would have been when I was 10. I am going to make an educated guess that my Momma did not know about Golden Birthday's either.  I am sorry to say that The Short Chic, already had her Golden Birthday. (Hopefully The Princess party I threw for her will compensate for the lack of a Golden Birthday!  The Boy can still celebrate his. He has a few more years to wait. 

Is it bad parenting to celebrate one child's Golden Birthday and not the other? The Boy would say no. The Short Chic would say yes. 

How about you? Have you heard of Golden Birthdays? Did you celebrate yours? 

Happy Golden Birthday, Katie! I do hope your day was as special as you, I hope you were surrounded by those who love you and make you feel like a princess, I hope you made memories that last your entire life 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...

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...
