Violet

Her name is Violet because she munches on the Violas which grow in the back.

Roadtrip ~ Christmas at Miramont Castle

Back before the Holidays, Hubby & I took an impromptu roadtrip to see Miramont Castle. If you'll remember, I wrote about it here, Click Here!

This time, we wanted to see the Castle in the daylight. We invited a friend (and a Candy Corn Chronicles blog follower) to go with us. We had a good time and it was grand seeing the old building dressed up in her holiday finery.

Friends and Gifts

I spent some time on Friday with a special friend of mine. She is a lively, vivacious person and you can't help but be in a better mood after spending time with her. Even if you're in a good mood to begin with, you're still in a better mood! Well, she gave me a gift Friday when I was there.

She had recently gone to visit her sister in northern Louisiana and they had gone to the Libbey Outlet store. [Don't you just LOVE Outlet Stores ??] And she found some wonderful drinking glasses there that she said she just knew I would love. And she was right! I LOVE 'EM!


Aren't they the coolest?? Thank you Jan! You're the sweetest!!

Now if I can just find some Halloween dishes.......
