Catch Phrase Cafe

    Last week while taking my lunch break I realized I was craving a cookie.. So of course seeing as I work right across the street from the library, I knew that I needed to come to Catch Phrase to get that cookie! Without a doubt some of the best homemade cookies in town, I tried their chocolate chip and Christmas sugar cookie, both equally yummy! It was also a very cold windy day and after having my hair blown every which way while walking there, I decided I probably should get some soup as well. Soup of the day- loaded baked potato- and by that I mean I can die now it was so good! Seriously I've never had such a good potato soup I could have ate the whole pot..! Here is a photo which does not do it justice, but you try it anyways, in fact you should just go check out Catch Phrase now! The only downer I have about the place is they need more seating, but while chatting with the owner one day she told that is something they are working on, so hopefully soon there will be more places to sit and enjoy this great cafe!

A Christmas Tradition

  Last night my family celebrated the decorating of our tree. We have done this every year for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely love it! We always have boiled shrimp, pigs in a blanket, cheese dip, and snicker doodles.. While we snack on the yummy appetizers we get all our ornaments out and slowly load the tree up till it looks like Christmas! This year it was just my parents, my brother and I, but sometimes we invite a couple close friends to enjoy this tradition with us! I think this time was one of my favorites, so many good talks and laughs with my family, they are the best!

Curly Art

    This morning I happened to be on facebook at the same time as my dear friend Claire Russell, a friend whom I met while working in Palermo, Sicily! May I just say here Claire, I miss our silly adventures together, our giggles over boys, and apertivo, you made my time in Palermo so much better!  And just so all of you know out there not only is she is an awesome friend, she is an awesome artist, check out her work - http://www.clairejrussell.com/ ! One day when I get some money saved up I hope to visit that beautiful city again and see my friends I made there, until that day though I shall just have to hear about it from Claire!    
 Here is one of Claire's paintings.
