It’s from the Paula Dean line of products and the quality seems very good and I don’t believe the handle will be melting off anytime soon.

This one holds 2 quarts of water which is perfect for a pot of coffee or tea…CSN has a fabulous selection of tea kettles and the shipping was very speedy. </div></div></div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPV5BGQrzS8YLUMpv_puQH5c6gev8fAxm__48aIfHCnS-aoTeg-WdMRNWDrW6iK_9J29oXd1JpDMoQixmEagyIyIiOVzEZudhPO_c460g1BAUskyN-z_H8OS1j67d3I8uimilDsKOSUaoO/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521310705337223810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPV5BGQrzS8YLUMpv_puQH5c6gev8fAxm__48aIfHCnS-aoTeg-WdMRNWDrW6iK_9J29oXd1JpDMoQixmEagyIyIiOVzEZudhPO_c460g1BAUskyN-z_H8OS1j67d3I8uimilDsKOSUaoO/s400/007.JPG" /></a> </div></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02380657625519281004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681443975458615118.post-90046410736168014972010-09-06T15:22:00.000-07:002010-09-06T15:47:43.790-07:00Blink and it's gone...This summer has been great! It was over in just the blink of an eye really...the weather for the most part was incredibly mild but beautiful. We really do live in an amazing place, never mind the fact that our school district has added 9 furlough days to this school year and the kids don't go back until September 13th. We traveled to some amazing places. Our family spent a week in New York City, it's a trip that we will never forget. We were able to do and see so much; Rock of Ages on Broadway, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, an afternoon exploring Harlem's Apollo Theatre and the wonderful restaurant Amy Ruth's, a Sunday in Central Park, Time Square, a Yankees game where we watched A-Rod hit his 600th home run<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs1MSn53A50E-s5jSNZmgitwTsvtyQyQsXhr5yGVWJuOMaA_NiKsPxTs7V_OmHtxOXxpgDr9AGyYpp5cx2uVmNBwcvnzOVy-_wv4qf9rwoFIkyCU-j8_ecuKND0roDXKAncF4FiBnEKAWC/s1600/151.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930731768588114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs1MSn53A50E-s5jSNZmgitwTsvtyQyQsXhr5yGVWJuOMaA_NiKsPxTs7V_OmHtxOXxpgDr9AGyYpp5cx2uVmNBwcvnzOVy-_wv4qf9rwoFIkyCU-j8_ecuKND0roDXKAncF4FiBnEKAWC/s400/151.JPG" /></a> and even a trip over to Hoboken to see the Cake Boss, however we did not wait in line for the 5+ hours to get inside...<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdM0W6JRUjUIa-vVE6atc7HIDSuBThTbajpzwyPAJtR_G_ZARSucCXcy5wV63jwGr10VXpT3Yfasa-Em4He0T2QnXZmaKpYxC47vY4pD4amqdUkh0AIzW89ML8tZ1eqvBTSYm5hXuJqRzT/s1600/177.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 365px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930726049591698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdM0W6JRUjUIa-vVE6atc7HIDSuBThTbajpzwyPAJtR_G_ZARSucCXcy5wV63jwGr10VXpT3Yfasa-Em4He0T2QnXZmaKpYxC47vY4pD4amqdUkh0AIzW89ML8tZ1eqvBTSYm5hXuJqRzT/s400/177.JPG" /></a> My husband and I spend a 4-day weekend in Seattle, the weather was in the 90's and we really enjoyed the time that we spent there visiting Pike Place Market, Bainbridge Island and all of the wonderful restaurants in this gorgeous city.<br /></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4wdXNqSY6LQhC4sjzMWO-uu_9oKF-wi4lUMnMH-2c74IU0o-J-TyV_OuBxYmXT5grvZu43EXy1a8m5_N4Sz9zO6yoOo9g-i1z3hTDDOCyFFdlFp9GeTpxILsiP4FMM8C8pPaOkQ0tuIb/s1600/Seattle+066.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930724484105074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4wdXNqSY6LQhC4sjzMWO-uu_9oKF-wi4lUMnMH-2c74IU0o-J-TyV_OuBxYmXT5grvZu43EXy1a8m5_N4Sz9zO6yoOo9g-i1z3hTDDOCyFFdlFp9GeTpxILsiP4FMM8C8pPaOkQ0tuIb/s400/Seattle+066.JPG" /></a> We even came home with 3 pounds of smoked salmon from here.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0MoewifkSLefvfxFTkVLUuFwY75225kGl-0h2b5km8feZ6_dtPBgR3JvL27M62G5ntMblYCPJHlTgm8qtyAUrvN1CH4W0tRj3A0eyOrFYGA1XAp0j3BI9lrYhYlPbKLHSFYDS_8aLfNTd/s1600/Seattle+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930719199947442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0MoewifkSLefvfxFTkVLUuFwY75225kGl-0h2b5km8feZ6_dtPBgR3JvL27M62G5ntMblYCPJHlTgm8qtyAUrvN1CH4W0tRj3A0eyOrFYGA1XAp0j3BI9lrYhYlPbKLHSFYDS_8aLfNTd/s400/Seattle+006.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLB9m3hk_eUxpqVdRuQCjikNJkbxo3SXWBRnoz6DYtr82LI-8OfJv0FuflPvsHq6myuETPfvdAc1hSYjN1qcMaNSeHk0yJwl8ebP2U7v1RWYzNlX-8pzSZtdcuyj9-qgjXc7R30f_emz64/s1600/Seattle+013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930709560517682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLB9m3hk_eUxpqVdRuQCjikNJkbxo3SXWBRnoz6DYtr82LI-8OfJv0FuflPvsHq6myuETPfvdAc1hSYjN1qcMaNSeHk0yJwl8ebP2U7v1RWYzNlX-8pzSZtdcuyj9-qgjXc7R30f_emz64/s400/Seattle+013.JPG" /></a> I hope that your summer was memorable.

Her family was in the back cooking up an order of 400 that were going to be picked up at 9am. She was so sweet and really loves to see all the people in line.

This year my youngest son who is a freshman in HS organized a team of his fellow HS runners in honor of their head coach's wife who is battling cancer. The kids were amazing, tie dying t-shirts and selling them at track meets to raise money for their team and holding local restaurant fundraisers to help their cause all helped them exceed their goal and raise nearly $4,000. I helped him coordinate details for the 33 boys and girls that were going to spend 24 hours at Saddleback College participating in this amazing event. Waivers to be signed, scheduling days when t-shirts could be dyed and sold and coordinating chaperone's to be with them for the 24 hour event. With the details nailed down and organized in a binder all was left in the capable hands of my husband who along with 15 chaperone's would support the kids at this event. They did great and had a fabulous time and I was able to meet my sister in Spokane for The Farm Chicks Show! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_B87GaN9kjuqMK42kxo7n82VjcYONIKin0E8jyjNJHt7axTzStJTjfqEHtlcBoD4Y8nUdDIwRPU8pbVk5OacizhgOmtQpYAj5mXb6TOFV0g6XgsUpT5MzDaxzYH73bwlAy_gBMcf4Fke/s1600/104.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 387px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480597363804595170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_B87GaN9kjuqMK42kxo7n82VjcYONIKin0E8jyjNJHt7axTzStJTjfqEHtlcBoD4Y8nUdDIwRPU8pbVk5OacizhgOmtQpYAj5mXb6TOFV0g6XgsUpT5MzDaxzYH73bwlAy_gBMcf4Fke/s400/104.JPG" /></a> My friend Serena treated my sister and I like queens! I have never met someone as genuine and kind as Serena. She greeted us Saturday morning with a hug and the opportunity to wander through the show - we felt like VIP's with backstage passes at a concert. If you have never been to the show I highly recommend that you make plans to be there next year. The event that she puts on is truly first class, I have been to several shows and all of her planning, organization and special touches really show through. Many of the wonderful vendors we spoke to felt so honored to participate and we met some of the nicest ladies ever! I'll share more later about what I purchased, the vendors we met and the memorable dinner at <a href="http://www.chapsgirl.com/">Chaps</a> but for now I will let the pictures tell the story of some of what we saw....<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRk6TsPocMvJ7abmNnFDVxRfeY2zEqgwN1jiCap7tvO3nQ2GT5dJZV3VJe6eeycaWwTrerShUyIP-fcqbPCjvPAkRgjN_Bfpe0TO6VbJyfNgy4mbXJSPNwoixiXQtzcxBVLebhZ7-cIzJ/s1600/068.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480596709504953458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRk6TsPocMvJ7abmNnFDVxRfeY2zEqgwN1jiCap7tvO3nQ2GT5dJZV3VJe6eeycaWwTrerShUyIP-fcqbPCjvPAkRgjN_Bfpe0TO6VbJyfNgy4mbXJSPNwoixiXQtzcxBVLebhZ7-cIzJ/s400/068.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1nUdPOwlBjFCLqwLUvufkEvsPsUBc8Q2xpiGdCPZe3CV-bgy0xUVA555nO-t5NIDUa536D2kOLjI1zJoZXoNEJARXoUyF_rucMkbrn6YdXC14A571uN8Fl-tg6tR7dwAHuErgxGNiApo/s1600/067.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480596704956961394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1nUdPOwlBjFCLqwLUvufkEvsPsUBc8Q2xpiGdCPZe3CV-bgy0xUVA555nO-t5NIDUa536D2kOLjI1zJoZXoNEJARXoUyF_rucMkbrn6YdXC14A571uN8Fl-tg6tR7dwAHuErgxGNiApo/s400/067.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15gy1U9DfJubAJQ6H-aVxTXP9KV5gLrYYIKMR0Bx7mzNLrUTW27ocfxFhPPAq-Y2CNmglc_Nd4jHPw_lOjuVMzCCCiCfA4TiTwq3OAGQHGjgkxH88I53t6J3e747eIyeX8ErrGOLQ2X-G/s1600/066.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480596696472968130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15gy1U9DfJubAJQ6H-aVxTXP9KV5gLrYYIKMR0Bx7mzNLrUTW27ocfxFhPPAq-Y2CNmglc_Nd4jHPw_lOjuVMzCCCiCfA4TiTwq3OAGQHGjgkxH88I53t6J3e747eIyeX8ErrGOLQ2X-G/s400/066.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTODU-XX90yFr1hOupsSfNqXK7Ilc4ixBrLsEPgC8P1PxBVGn2_kb0-oubg6ano02DEOiyq1isUA4EbEU9K1AhSBpB05aDWJOHmKL3BzKvM_GhrhbK5ajpuV69V_wGZAZlMznmCcZTJO4t/s1600/059.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480596685546989730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTODU-XX90yFr1hOupsSfNqXK7Ilc4ixBrLsEPgC8P1PxBVGn2_kb0-oubg6ano02DEOiyq1isUA4EbEU9K1AhSBpB05aDWJOHmKL3BzKvM_GhrhbK5ajpuV69V_wGZAZlMznmCcZTJO4t/s400/059.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1TNVqARQCi-GhTzkvU4PGTngKcy2y7aJZY1I6Qm1sMNHrnp3lF3GkwNfbX77kPlUxIETcRo9EWT98hgzfbehwtiwOL7sdlPVR19zcvCkbNQiYovBxU8kjQYO-5y0VYgzS5YfTcrNOFQ_/s1600/104.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02380657625519281004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681443975458615118.post-18134713809050615842010-05-02T13:05:00.000-07:002010-05-02T13:07:13.992-07:00The Farm Chicks Show!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQfi8fBFGfHM_cXS2UuZIEGJnLN3KqsHt2c1SPXI_fdxZ3FF0t8TwbEkcxMZ8zt1sPI8IxovsmgNByebdrfVow5FByOiaAjJsrNnEiYDvl9G5C_C3yK15hf_C6A0p1H0wolQRaBRrjKrt/s1600/farm+chicks.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 388px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466766426253278514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQfi8fBFGfHM_cXS2UuZIEGJnLN3KqsHt2c1SPXI_fdxZ3FF0t8TwbEkcxMZ8zt1sPI8IxovsmgNByebdrfVow5FByOiaAjJsrNnEiYDvl9G5C_C3yK15hf_C6A0p1H0wolQRaBRrjKrt/s400/farm+chicks.jpg" /></a> Yes!

Oh yes! Truly decadent! The wonderful home that we stayed in last weekend had something truly decadent! Heated bathroom floors! I think it was one of my favorite parts of the house....not the 9 lovely bedrooms with fluffy down <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">comforters</span> and gorgeous quilts on each bed, the amazing kitchen with the Wolf stove, a center island as big as my king size bed or the surround sound that was like being inside a concert hall....yes it was the heated bathroom floors. It made getting out of the shower on a chilly morning more tolerable and that middle of the night run to the potty more bearable. Funny I know!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwbxjPfgR4I0NJtl4S_ABuKT97OB2dd9PsVffvZ5hyphenhyphenKGAUEhO0St0XM-YlCT4Os3FJ9sRnTV2WMv511y84vnSLicX-lSK2-Yb44LxCBoPzdfCwhKnPH3yFNmrL5w89DvbjG2o2MxDY8KZv/s1600-h/tile.jpeg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 245px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433101321578456274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwbxjPfgR4I0NJtl4S_ABuKT97OB2dd9PsVffvZ5hyphenhyphenKGAUEhO0St0XM-YlCT4Os3FJ9sRnTV2WMv511y84vnSLicX-lSK2-Yb44LxCBoPzdfCwhKnPH3yFNmrL5w89DvbjG2o2MxDY8KZv/s400/tile.jpeg" /></a> Here is where we were so fortunate to stay - this is the before picture of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Cow</span> Barn before it was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">renovated</span>.
