My mother has past on..............

I knew this day was close but I'm not prepared. Yesterday my mother passed away
at 3:30. It has been a long night and I really need all your prayers. She had
six children, all of them living and 10 grand children and 16 great grandchildren.

What a wonderful mother she was; always quite and never raised her voice. I will miss her forever and carry her memories with me and remember all the talks we had.

I will need to take this time to be with my brothers and sisters to grieve.

thank you,
Anita

Sneak around the rabbit.......Tablescape Thursday

My second table scape Thursday and I want to thank Susan for hosting our table scape Thursday and giving us ladies a change to show off our table settings. Please visit her and all the other gals that participate in this fabulous blog. See Table scape thursday at Between Naps on the porch.

The salad dish, and bread plate are from the Fleuron collection. The large dinner plate is Fitz and Floyd and I bought this set when it first came out and I love the dark green leaves that surround the plate.

The rabbit is a rabbit that I use to sell in my floral and gift shop. It came with a CD and a story about rabbits. If you notice she is guarding her egg. She doesn't want the fox to get her little one before it hatches. Baby rabbit is watching from
the other side to make sure that he can run when trouble approaches.

Thank you for visiting my table scape today. I am posting early due to a scheduled
outing tonight and not sure what time I will get home. And I have an early meeting tomorrow morning so I didn't want to miss this posting. I will link up tomorrow.

Types of Behaviors:

Compulsive shoppers – shop to distract feelings; “when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping”

Trophy shoppers – find the perfect accessory for outfits, etc. High class items will do.

Image shoppers – pick up tab, expensive cars, highly visible stuff

Bargain shoppers – buy stuff they don’t need just because it is a good deal. Out for the hunt.

Codependent shoppers – to gain love and approval

Bulimic shoppers

Collector shoppers

• From collecting dishes to scouting for flatware and stemware. How about antiques, the shabby chic items. Handbags and shoes every gal needs more. We all have something in common when we shop.

“How much would you have to buy in order to finally feel satisfied or good enough?”

Never; I am always looking for something. I hope the Mr. Linky will work for me. If not let just post your name and I will try and get it straighten out. Here are a few items that I purchased this week. Two pictures for my great room. A pair of chocolate sandals and orange. A pair of Bebe high heels for a wedding in April. A Candle holder and candles for the outside porch table. And we stopped at an estate sale and I made a bid on the Rogers flatware....First Love 1847 flatware... at 90 piece set.

Foodie Friday Mishaps...............

Check out Gollum and all the stories being told today. Thank you Gollum for this
opportunity to share our stories of mishaps in the kitchen.

It happen to be on Thanksgiving in 1974. My husband and I had been married for five years and we had a 4 year old daughter. It was time for us to have the family thanksgiving dinner at our house. Our daughter was getting older and we where
adjusting in our first home.

I planned that each member would bring a dish and that way everyone got to participate in the dinner and brought their favorite dishes. I had planned
the dressing, corn casserole, dinner rolls, etc.

My sister in law wanted to do the turkey and raved about how her turkeys where always so moist and delicious. So I told my husband we will make a small turkey
for us and bake it early in the morning so we can have some left overs. There
wasn't going to be an left overs with all the family members that was coming to dinner and the sister in law turkey would all be gone.

So I baked my turkey early like at 6:00 in the morning. And my turkey was finished
around 10:00. I sliced it and put it in the fridge to save for later that evening and the following day.

Well all the guest arrived around 12:30 for early dinner around 2:00. I had the table set with what dishes I had back then and set a small table for the children.
Everyone brought their dish and it all look so delicious and smelled wonderful and my
house smelled like thanksgiving.

My husband always slices the turkey and he proceed to do so as usual and the ladies and I continued to set the table with the sides dishes, butter etc.

All Of a sudden my husband called to me and it didn't sound too good. I went to see
what the matter was and he said " take a look inside this turkey that your sister n law has fixed for our feast. Well,........ inside the turkey was the bag of giblets, and at the other end was the neck. Well! I was so sick to my stomach
and I know it must have shown on my and hubby's faces. But with all the talking going on no one noticed. So, I had a plan. I would take the turkey from the fridge that I had baked for him and I and would serve that one. So we proceed to cut her turkey and throw it in a plate like the one we where serving ours own and then he would take it outside to the garbage.

So he took out the parts that where left in the turkey and disposed of them.
My sister n law raved how delicious the turkey was and how it seems to be better this
year.

So we told our my hubby's mother and father about what had happen and my mother in law stills laughs about it today. My husband's brother divorced her some 10 years later and we told him the story. Needless to say we never ate a meal at their house
we always used an excuse not to show up.

So as we continued to have thanksgiving with out children and our grandchildren they all know the story and we over wash and clean our turkeys.

You had to be there to see this drama take place...........

Simple tablescape.........

A simple table scape in a garden sitting for one of my brides. The white linens,
white platter, coffee beans topped with granny green apples. Photographs where placed around the center of the table of different pictures taken during their
courtship.

I didn't get a chance to do a table scape in my home; wanted to support Susan's table scape Thursday so I decided to show a table scape wedding. Enjoy!

Removing Blue Stains on Bathroom Fixtures:
Blue, green or other unusual colored stains, can be caused in old, badly worn bathtubs andsinks, from cleansers not rinsed off thoroughly. When harsh abrasives (such as most scouring powders) are used regularly on these porcelain enamel surfaces, over several years they wear down the smooth surface, leaving it rough.

Dyes used to encapsulate the cleaning particles in scouring powders or other colored cleansers can get into the crevices of such worn surfaces, and if not rinsed off, and allowed to stay and harden for days, can be almost impossible to remove. A strong chlorine bleach solution may lighten the stain, but will also further dull or discolor the porcelain surface. So one may have to live with the stain.

Removing Rust/Iron Stains on Bathroom Fixtures:
Rust stains come from iron in the water supply, which can only be permanently remove through installation of an iron filter. Occasionally iron is dissolved from rusting water pipes or mains by corrosive water. Iron stains can be removed by a weak acid solution, usually oxalic acid which is highly toxic and must be handled with care. Never use chlorine bleach as this sets the iron stain.
Fresh iron stains on plumbing fixtures such as sinks, bathtubs and chrome will generally yield to treatment with heavy duty cleaning compounds containing large proportions of trisodium phosphate. Apply cleaner with damp cloth, pad or sponge. Rub discolored surface until stain is removed. Rinse. Wipe dry and polish.
Heavy, stubborn rust stains can often be removed by oxalic acid stain remover compounds such as Zud or a tri-chloro-melanine compound such as Barkeepers Friend. Follow directions carefully.
For rust stains already set on bathroom or kitchen plumbing fixtures, dissolve oxalic acid crystals in hot water and add enough whiting or talc to make a soft paste. Apply this poultice to stain and let dry before removing. Rinse and polish.Use with care-it is poisonous.

Terrazzo Floors - Stain Removal
Caution: Follow directions carefully when you use chemicals to remove stains. Always "remove the stain remover" as soon as its job has been done. Remember many of these substances are on the "Not recommended list" for general floor care, but must be used if the stain is to be removed.

Try the following methods for these common stains. Try the first method listed first, and go to the second only if this doesn't work. For unknown stains or heavy staining, consult a professional.

POTS AND PANS

Cast Iron pans: To clean, wipe them out with a damp cloth rather than completely wash them, dry completely to prevent rust.

Copper pans: To get them to shine again dip the bottom of the pot in leftover pickle juice. Let it sit for about 10-15 mintes. Rinse well.

Burnt pots & pans: Make a paste of water & baking soda, rub into burnt area, then let it sit for an hour or so, it will come clean quite easily.

Aluminum pots : To restore shine, boil with some apple peels for a few minutes. Rinse well.

Enamel ware : To remove any discoloration make a paste of equal amounts of salt and vinegar, clean area & let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse well.
