Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning friends. I’m slowly getting back up to full steam. My cold is gone for the most part, but we’ve had a pretty busy week thus far and it’s been a little exhausting. My husband had an endoscopy yesterday, so that was interesting. We’ve never done this kind of thing before so we didn’t […]
I have a new problem. I’m not sure when it started, or where it come from, or how it got so out of hand so quickly, but I have a confession to make. I think I might have a candle. problem. I’ve been enjoying candles by my comfy chair for several seasons now and I […]
Good afternoon, friends, I realize I’m writing pretty late today, but I’m still sick and really like sleep, so there you have it. Like everyone else, I’m looking at this new year and thinking about all the stuff I should do or start or try. Having looked back at last year for my year end […]
Good morning friends. I will admit, I debated on pushing my return back to Friday in hopes that I would be feeling a little better by then, but I really don’t want to extend my break any longer than it has to be. I always feel bad taking time away from the blog, but the […]
Year End Review 2016 Welcome dear friends, to my annual review! It has been my tradition for several years now to have a look back at the year which is ending before looking forward to the year to come. As I look back at the year that I’ve had, I encourage you to also look […]

Good morning, dear friends, I’ve just finished a weekend of parties which kicks off all the parties for the rest of the year. The thing about having friends and being involved in things and having a job, I guess, is that you get people want to celebrate Christmas in those groups and so they throw […]
Oh hello there, I’m just sitting here enjoying my tree which is sheltering all the gifts we’ve gotten so far. For people, not that we’ve received. That’s totally different. Anyway, It’s delightful to have an under-tree full of gifts, partially because it keeps my cats from running rampant under the tree skirt, but mostly because […]
Good morning friends. I was going to try and write about wrapping presents today, but I haven’t actually wrapped any presents yet. Scratch that, I’ve wrapped one present, but that was super early because my best friend was in town for Thanksgiving, but wouldn’t be in town for Christmas so I wanted to give her […]
When I was growing up we always had a real Christmas tree. Every year we went out to a farm, or stopped by one of the little groves that popped up or one of the stores and picked out a tree. It was a lot of fun, especially when we cut down our own. Christmas […]
