MORE Snow Days and the Weekend

Winter seriously needs to go AWAY!!!!! We had another round of winter come through late Wednesday afternoon. Little Rock got a total of 5 1/2 inches. I think that two of those inches were ice and the rest snow. This will make eight days we have been out for inclement weather.  I was not as productive this time around as I have been the last two. We watched three movies. Lucy was one of them. It was kind of odd, but I liked it. Kev watched Foxcathcher. I didn't really get into it. We also watched the Skelton Key. 
I messed up our pizza the other day and turned it into Stomboli. I made it on the cutting board since I was letting the pizza stone get hot. I thought it would slide off the cutting board, but it didn't, so I just rolled it up.  It still tasted great!
We've  been cleaning out the fridge and freezer, so our meals have been interesting. I can't believe this time next week we will be in Ireland. We're so FREAKING excited! I have taken advantage of the snow days and started getting outfits together and packing. I still need to go buy a pair of rain boots. The ones I have are more for work ing in the muddy yard. So far the weather while we are in Dublin for the St. Patrick's Day Festival is going to be dry. The rest of the time looks rainy.

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. ...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

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.
