Canning, Projects, Cooking, and Shopping

I got a bag of corn Saturday. A bag has somewhere between 80-90 ears. I usually use half of them for making corn relish. They other half goes in the freezer. Sunday morning I went to the store to get the other ingredients needed. My friend gave me more cucumbers Friday night, so I wanted to make bread and butter pickles too.  I have been busy canning all summer and I love it!!
Sunday night once it cooled off, I tackled the garage door project. I found a link on Pinterest that showed how to use gel stain to redo your garage door so it looks like wood. I bough some a few weeks ago and have just been waiting until I had some time.
I love the way it looks. I didn't take a before picture and don't feel like digging through albums looking for one. Before it was lighter brown and very dull. It looked like a regular metal garage door. I have carriage door handles and brackets to put on it once I get on the clear coat.

I've been wanting new swim suits all summer and since we are going to the beach next week I went to Dillard's to see what they had left. I found these two. I also bought this really cute black top to go with some black bottoms I already have.
We have been enjoying crest veggies from our garden and my friend's garden. Monday night I made stuffed bell peppers and grilled squash.
Tuesday morning I decide to clean out the cabinets under the TV. We've added more speakers and wire and the subwoofer has been sitting out on the floor for several weeks. I have way too many glass vases that I never use. 
I took everything out of the cabinets and started from scratch. That has been my method of cleaning since I was little. Here is the end result. The subwoofer has a new home!!
Perla watched the bird all morning.

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. ...

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

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.
