I had a smashing idea! Let’s have a book club! We’ll read/listen to the same books and find each other on the pages of those books! This book is a classic. Every girl with sister HAS to read this book. Plus, it’s a good book to read between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The first chapter is…
So I’m walking around one of those sweet shops in the mountains and I hear this song. What a great song. It’s full of metaphors. Remember metaphors are when you compare two things but you don’t use the words “like” or “as.” Being “hungry” can be physical hunger, but you can also hunger for something…
Yes, we had one of those magical days with big sister in the mountains. We listened to your favorite Christmas music CD all the way up the mountain. When we got there, the snow was lightly falling. It snowed like that all day. It was like a winter wonderland. Your big brother in the tearoom…
I have this really weird tradition that I’d like to share with you. Breakfast on Black Friday is rather odd at my house. I eat cold stuffing (cooked in the bird) and cold pumpkin pie. Yum! Add a cup of hot coffee and a movie called The Christmas Wife and I’m all set. I don’t…
Life is tough now. I get it. I know there are places you’d rather be and things you’d rather be doing. I’m not going to minimize your feelings, because that would be disrespectful. Would it help to know that I’m having a tough time too? You are so NOT alone in this. We go through…
Girlies, Remember when we used to go to the tea house together? We’d get hats and boas and dress up as ladies. Bea didn’t care for the tea, we got her pink lemonade instead. But Purity is a major tea drinker. Purity and I went up to the mountains to this tea house: Big Brother’s…
We had a pretty good time. Big Bro’s lady mashed the potatoes, I made the gravy. I brought my green bean casserole and the pumpkin pie. Grandma made her sweet potato casserole, cranberry salad and of course, the turkey. We said a prayer and then we sat down to eat. We talked and laughed through…
I’ll keep adding to this as I know things. Welcome to the Sisterly Seven O’Clock News. This is your local correspondent, Prudence Scattergoode, reporting in on the movements of – the big brother and his partner in crime. Right now, your dad hasn’t made plans to see them – yet. I know he does have…
He and his lady got here about 10:00 last night. We stayed up for a while talking and having a fine time. We talked about his trip to Catalina when he got stung by a wasp. We talked about when we went boating and fishing. He and I had some pretty fun times. Interestingly, his…
I asked your youngest brother to let you see this last year. I sent it to all of you children. I resent it on Facebook this year and I hope you’ve gotten to see it. Remember when we sat and watched Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman at my apartment? You said you liked the show. Johnny…
