New Furniture

Kev had this amour in his trailer when I met him. It's like 100 plus years old. It needed some work, so his dad refinished it for us! I love it! It's our first antique. He also gave us an old time wash station. We put it in the attic for now since we really don't have the space for it. 
Perla's scratching post was wearing out and she was starting to scratch on the couch. I was not having it, so I looked online and a new post was around $30 and I found this condo for $70. Score! She is starting to play on it some and has stopped scratching the couch.  

I took the dog kennel out of the shower and just piled pillows and blankets in it for Lilly's bed. She loves it and I just crack the laundry room door. This way Perla can still use her little box and Lilly can't get out. I really want a at door for the laundry room door.
my aunt gave me this huge mirror. It's too big for one bathroom and not big enough for the master bathroom, so it will probably end up in the workout room. We need a large mirror in there.
The cabinet man  installed the cabinet handles last week. It make everything look so different.

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. ...

Power Outage

Christmas Day we had lots of ice topped off with snow. Our power went out about 4:00 that afternoon. Luckily, I had already made a huge pot of chili. About two hours later, it came back on just long enough for us to eat dinner and shower (since I have a well, I don't get water when there's not electricity). By 10:00 it was out again and that's the last time we had power. I have a fireplace so keeping warm wasn't a problem. Kev split some wood and we were good to go. I pulled the camping cookware down from the attic. I cooked sausage, eggs, and toast for breakfast.  Warmed chili up for lunch. And made grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches for dinner.  I even pulled some cookie dough from the freezer and grilled cookie dough. We had to flip them like pancakes to cook them thoroughly, but they we delicious.  After sleeping on the mattress in front if the fireplace and still no power, we got the ok from his dad to bring all the animals out to his land....

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...
