Ooh...that sounds yummy. Snow on the ground, outside cold as Billy-be-damned, fire in the fireplace, cozy glow in the room, puppies asleep at our feet AND YOUR COFFEE. I'm in.

That does sound good... got room for one more?! ;-)

There's always room at our house for one more. More kids, dogs, football players and service men find their way to our doorstep than you can imagine and all are welcome.

My family has always made fun of our policy — calling it “The Church of the Open Door,” and hubby often worries how we're going to feed them all, but we manage. I would gladly build a fire in the fireplace or the bbq pit for a good night of food and friends and laughter — we keep it moderately clean, respectful and always loving. Let me know and we'll set an extra place. ;-)

Oh, and music. On Saturday nights it's opera an Italian or Cajun and zydeco. In the summers it's Hank Williams, Jr. and Willie Nelson or good jazz and lots of tiki torches (mosquitoes are hell in St. Louis). ;-)
