Merry Pawmas

Good afternoon my dears, 

Since we celebrated Christmas at The Greenbrier this year, we decided to celebrate Pawmas when we returned home. Each year we buy a little something for our pets to open on Christmas morning, and as usual they enjoyed opening and playing with their gifts.

My Christmas gifts. 

Apparently I was good this year. Santa gifted me this darling doll house with a wrap-around-porch. My childhood dream has come true.

Pawmas dinner. Roast chicken, roasted carrots, peas, herb stuffing balls, mashed potatoes, and gravy. The pups also got a Pawmas dinner which they were really happy about.

A Glimpse At Our Week And Kelsie Merrily's Surgery

A glimpse at our week.

Tuesday

We made reservations at one of our favorites, The Gallery Restaurant inside the Ballantyne Hotel for a three course dinner.

The menu for me: shrimp and grits, roasted salmon with chilled risotto and crème pudding ala mode served with house brewed coffee. What a delicious dinner, and a wonderful evening.

The lobby has fresh floral arrangements, and serves high tea in the afternoons. It's where we're going for our 2nd annual St. Valentine's Day tea. If you gaze upwards, you'll notice the symmetrically placed wall sconces are like acorns hanging on oak stained paneling. The interior designer in me appreciates the attention to detail. 

Thursday

Our ten month old puppy, Kelsie Merrily was rescued last summer - a day before she was scheduled to be euthanized. I was in a puddle of tears, and praying we could have her. She has become another member of our family.

Well she went into surgery to get spayed. She was so excited on her way in, greeting Angela, her vet behind the counter and very sore and groggy on her way out. She has to relax for the next ten days, which for her personality is not her favorite. Bless her heart.

Friday

Earlier in the week, I advertised for a housekeeper. I met a lady whose going to come help me clean my home weekly. My weekly cleaning routine will have to change a little. On Monday's, the day before I'll do the household laundry (sheets, bathmats, towels, hand towels etc.) and tidy up a little.

On Tuesday's the housekeeper will come and help with the bathrooms, hallway, kitchen  and the floors in the living, dining and bedrooms while I dust and fluff those rooms. That will free up the rest of my week, and weekend.

How was your week?
