A parlor

A few friends and sisters have inspired me to start my very own blog. If nobody ever reads it, at least I will get some journaling done.

This is not a beauty parlor or a tattoo parlor. It is Perla's parlor. Why a parlor? I have always wanted to have a parlor. Webster's says a parlor is, "a room set aside for entertaining, a small semi-private sitting room. I heard that the word "parlor" comes from the French word, "parler" or "to speak". One website said that, "The parlor was always the best room." I don't really know what that means specifically but if it was written it must be true. So, this will be my best room for chatting or reading and entertaining guests. In the evenings, after the kids are down I can finally do as so many of my most beloved fictional (and non-) characters have done in the past...I shall retire to the parlor. And you can trust that unlike most parlors that are still in existence today, this parlor is not haunted.
