What Lilly Wanted for Christmas

Image

Lilly:  I see exactly what I want….I’ll take two or three please.

Tradition

Yesterday my good friends and I went out to do our Christmas girls day out.  We always try to go to a restaurant that we have never been to.  This year we went to O’Dowd’s Little Dublin down on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.    We got there and ordered an appetizer of spinach artichoke dip and a round of beer. 

Image

Ila and Vickie opted for a nice lite Irish Lager.

Image

I, on the other hand, ordered a nice thick stout.

Image

Image

The atmosphere was nice and inviting. 

Image

I ordered the grilled salmon boxty.  It was so tasty!  The salmon was grilled perfectly, and the mashed potatoes…..well, I can never say anything bad about mashed potatoes!

Image

Our waitress wasn’t as personable as we are used to.  We usually have the wait staff in the picture with us, however this year we were just glad she was willing to take our picture.

Kitty Burrito

We keep the temperature in the house at a steady 70 degrees.  Even though it isn’t cold, Lilly still demands to be wrapped up in a blanket like a kitty burrito.

Image

She looks quite content 🙂

Shooting Deer Prompts New Freezer

Image

This is the splendid new freezer that I bought. 

Image

Here it is loaded up with the deer that Glen shot.  Now that is a good looking freezer!

Are you tired?

Scaredy Cat

Lilly was very skeptical about her cat nip toy. Petey made sure she stayed skeptical.

Dog Noses

Image

This is Miss Lucy’s nose.  Interesting fact about a dog nose…..a print of a dogs nose can be used to identify them just like a persons fingerprint.

Sunset

Last nights sunset was phenomenal.

Image

Gimme

Image

Eva:  So sparkly and shiny…..I want to chew on them!

Digging for a Good Time

Lila usually doesn’t like to come out of her cage, but when she does she thoroughly enjoys digging behind the couch pillows.

Image

Lila:  Did you put this wonderful pillow here just for me?

Image

Digging, digging, digging…..She periodically comes out from behind the pillow ready to bite just to make sure nothing is sneaking up on her.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
