Each Cozy Critter headed straight for the fireplace as she came into my house yesterday. Next stop, coffee pot, then the hundred year old table and chocolate chip cookies.

When Peg came into my living room singing, Deep Purple, I knew that it would be a particularly rollicking critique, and it was! Fun and informative–that’s the Cozy Critters.
