Let the good time roll with a portable bartender! Unique father's day gifts for the Dad who is always on the go!!

After we found this portable bartenders kit people started telling us they remembered always having one of these in their car, if not themselves their parents.  They would grab a bottle and put it in the case, so when they went for a picnic or stopped over someone's house they could just grab it and go!

Storage shed sale today It's going to be FUN! And I'm finally cleaning out my closet

Good morning everyone! It is a bright and beautiful morning here today at Myrtle Beach! Today we are going to open up our storage shed and see who might stop by and be interested in some of our treasures. We had to rent a space because we didn't have any room let in our garage for everything we were buying. It started to take over our house and we had piles of things on every surface imaginable.
It’s not like we didn’t have organized madness….lol... we had piles coming in, piles that needed pictures, piles to list, and then piles to mail. We just had too many piles!!

It's going to fun today and I can't wait to see how everything turns out!

  I am finally going through my closet, mini shopping mall....lol....to bring a bunch of my NWT, never will ware, wore once, maybe I will fit into this again, this will be back in style someday, clothes, shoes and jewelry!!  Wow, I think I will be able to breath again when I enter and I actually see what I have to wear!!
By reading this I'm sure you have figured out that I have the shopping bug.

I'll let you know how we do!  I hope everyone has a wonderful week end and be safe!! 

Occupied Japan Porcelain Rose Lamps Gold Trimmed

This pair of shabby chic lamps are amazing thinking about how far they have come.  Japan wasn't occupied for very long so that will give us the year of these beauties!  There isn't a chip or crack on the raised roses, so someone took very good care of them!

`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*
FROZEN KIWI CREAM
`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*`~*
PREPARATION TIME: 25 min
Cooking Time: 10 Mins
Freezing Time: 2-4 Hours


For 4 Servings you will need:

3 Kiwi Fruits (it really reads Kiwi Fruits)
2 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup milk, scalded
½ cup sugar
¼ cup whipping cream, whipped stiff
Mandarin oranges and mint sprig for garnish

TIPS:  If custard is frozen solid remove from freezer 20 min before you plan to serve it to allow time to soften.

Preparation:
 1~ Put 2 kiwi fruits into small saucepan. (Reserve other kiwi fruit for garnish). Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce Heat. Simmer for 10 min. Peel and puree. Set aside.
 2~ Beat egg yolks with salt, cornstarch and vanilla. Beat in milk. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until thickened. Add ¼ cup of the sugar. Set aside to cool.
 3~ Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar. Beat until stiff. Fold egg whites into cooled yolk mixture. Fold in whipped cream and kiwi puree.
 4~ pour into serving bowl. Cover and freeze 2 - 4 hours. Cream is best when frozen just to stage where it is easy to spoon, firm but not hard.
 5~ To serve, peel and slice reserved kiwi fruit. Arrange around bowl. Garnish with mandarin oranges and mint sprig


(It really gives this information below…..it’s so great!!)
For 2 servings : Half of the ingredients
For 8 servings: Double the ingredients.

Fatherless Father's Day. What to do on this day without a Dad

Father’s Day is coming up soon and I was just thinking, how many of us are without fathers?
Since my children's father passed away when they were 7 & 9, it's always
 been a tough day for us. 
My dad passed away when I was 26 and I was much, much younger when my two grandfathers passed away.

What do you do on this day without a father?

The Art of Patience

Today, I am willing to learn the art of patience.  If I am feeling powerless because I am waiting for something to happen and I am not in control of timing, I will focus on the power available to me by learning to wait, learning to be Patient.
``~*``~*``~*``~*
I am a very impatient person and this is a good one for me to work on.  Things WILL happen in all good time, when the are supposed to.  I need to work on letting things happen the way they are going to & not to try and force them to happen. Deep Breath!
