I've owned the Roosevelt Wooden Pepper Mill for a couple of years now. For the most part, I have been very happy with it.This pepper mill is made of a durable wood body with a metel top. The top is a metal crank that you turn. It, at one time, had a finish on the wood to protect it. I have enjoyed this pepper mill. I think it looks very stylish. I've ground black pepper and also multi-c...

My Melitta Mill & Brew Coffee Maker has been the best coffee maker that I have ever owned! My husband purchased it at Taget on clearance when our coffee pot broke. Melitta is a wonderful brand and they still sell this model at several retailers, but the cost is $69-99. There is a timer which means I can put the water and beans in the night before and then set it to start the next ...

A day spent a Dillard Mill State Historic Site (a Missouri State Park) is both relaxing and educational.Dillard Mill is located a couple of hours outside of St. Louis, MO in Davisville.  Our group chose to visit Dillard Mill on a beautiful holiday weekend and were pleasantly surprised to find that we had the picnic area to ourselves for most of the day.  A large pavillion provided she...

It is a wonderful park that I have been visiting since I was very young and still enjoy today.Spring Mill has many interesting things to do and see. My favorite is the restored Pioneer Village and Grist Mill. This is an actu...

If you looking for a nice family destination, try visiting Country Acres Cider Mill in Waynesboro, PA. They give factory tours for groups or by appointment. It is a very interesting tour. Our guide, a minnonight gentleman, was very informative and took us through every step of the apple pressing process. We were shown the giant bins of apples, the apples being loaded into the sorter, which is d...

This coin bank is really handy and really fun to use.  My husband and i are always bringing home our change and just throwing it into an old jar and never seem to know how much we have until we get around to rolling it and taking it to the bank.With this coin bank, all you do is take a small handful of coins, feed it into the opening at the top and the coin bank goes to work.  It sepa...

When you're tired irritable or ready to scream, turn on the taps, pour in the bubbles and sink in a nice hot tub. Then.. grab a big fat fragrant bar of Roger et Gallet's perfumed soap and let the dreamy fragrance melt your cares away. Yes, they are that lovely. I got my first box at 16 years old from my mother, and have been buying these soaps ever since. These are not just soaps, but a...

This is a beauty or bath bar by Thymes. This is called "Sleep Well" and is a trippled-milled soap. I love all the thymes products. This is such a luxorious bar of soap. It is so nice to light some candles, draw a hot bath, pour a glass of wine and use this bar. The fragrance will relax you right into sleep. This can also be used in a shower, of course, but the bath really helps to rel...

I have years of experience with this, first got it with my 5 yr old to make her baby food, but when I realized I was missing some parts when I had my youngest, I went right out and bought another one. This food mill is so easy to use, it's ridiculous. There are three main parts- two pieces which fit together and work to puch the food up into the bowl once it's been ground, and the ...

Children are always wanting a good book to read (especially older children). While there is always the immensely popular Harry Potter series and the relatively new book series Twilight (about vampires, vampire romance, and a girl falling in love with a vampre- quite strange, in my opinon), the Series of Unfortunate Events books which consits of the Bad Beggining, the Reptile Room, the Wide Wind...

The Gold Medal Century of Success Cook Book has certainly played a big role in my very local standing with friends and family as a good cook.I ordered this book 28 years ago from a coupon on the back of a bag of Gold Medal Flour.  It was published in 1979, on the eve of the 100th Anniversary of Gold Medal Flour.The book is soft cover.  Mine is now coming completely apart.  It&rsq...

Since 1993, I buy my husband a Pendleton shirt for winter. When we were living in Panama, for some silly reason, the BX (Military store) had a bunch of Pendleton wool shirts for sale. It was strange because Panama is in the tropics and even though it is wet most of the time, the temperature is between 75-85 degrees year round.The BX was trying to get rid of the shirts so I was able to get about...

When it was time to put floors in our century home that we added to and have been remodeling, we wanted it to be beautiful and durable.  We chose to have Ash wood floors installed in our hallways.  They installed straight from the mill with a square edge.  The were unfinished.  Once they were installed, we found a trusted individual to finish them off.  This entailed hi...

I was looking through the 2 for $10 bin of DVD's at Walamrt awhile back and found this DVD set. It has 4 DVDs i it with 50 Episodes of this TV show called One Step Beyond. According to the back of the DVD case this TV show was on at the same time as the original Twilight Zone. One Step Beyond is about the same as The Twilight Zone only it covers the stories and reports of actual paranormal ...

Lady Luck? I am not so sure. We got this because it was supposed to have 500 different slot machines on it to play. Well in fact it does but their all the same play action and pay offs. The game looks good and plays well but I still think it basically just plain sucks. This SLOT MACHINES contained on this game are so lame and boring even my 7 year old son finds no enjoyment in it. He says "...

This is a great book, if you're looking to do crafts, particularly with kids.  The items needed in order to do any of the crafts are easy to find, and most of them you probably already have around your home (i.e. egg cartons, glue...).  The crafts are divided into sections.  Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Easter, and "Everyday" are the vari...
