Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
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 […]
Let’s be honest, friends, the best part of Christmas is the cookies. What other time of year is it acceptable to have upwards of twenty dozen cookies in your house?

It is very gloomily raining outside and not feeling very Christmasy at all, but we’ll make the best of it, as you do in Western PA, where it could snow on Thanksgiving and rain on Christmas and then Snow on Easter, just because. It really is very […]
