Flowers and Holes

I've had two things I wanted to share since last weekend, however, I've had no motivation to write them. So. Here it goes...

Sunday morning I was mopping the kitchen floor when I noticed that the air vent (mine are in the floor) was looking kind of nasty. I decided to take it out and soak in hot soapy water. Well... I went on cleaning and cooking, totally forgetting about the vent. I walked over to the coffee pot and BAM! I stepped right into the vent hole. I'm lucky I didn't twist or hurt my ankle/foot badly. I did get a few nice scratches and a bruise on my leg along with a cut on the bottom of my foot.  Just call me grace.

It hurt to walk for a about three days until the cut on the bottom of my foot healed. So.I got behind on my running. I rained all day Saturday and well, i just told you about Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning. Hopefully the rain will go away.


Backtracking to Saturday. I needed to go to Hobby Lobby to get some supplies for my aunt's birthday party. We're throwing her a surprise 60th this weekend. Anyways, I noticed the fall flowers were on sale 40% off and I'd been wanting to get some for the pots by the front door. I always use fake ones in them because anything else would die from lack of sunlight. I found these deep red mum like flowers and bought them.

Once I was home, I cut them apart and put them in the pots. As I was taking the last pot back outside, (I had to do it inside since it was raining) I had a weird deja vu moment. I remembered doing the same thing last year. Yep! I climbed into he attic and found a Hobby Lobby bag full of red and orange mums. I just added them to the others and they look great! I remember thinking I needed more to really make them full last year. Needless to say I WILL NOT be buying fall flowers next year!

Before the addition of last year's flowers.


Last year's flowers.

Add I never took a picture of the finished product so use your imagination.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
