Alice's Grandcats

Dutchess, who thinks she is the Queen of Sheba, lounging on the sofa. See the open curtain, her window on the world...

Pikachu waiting to read The Red-Headed Roadrunner Blog!

Since Alice is so allergic to cats, she can only see them from the window, but she loves them just the same.

Alice Goes International

Today, Alice got quite a surprise. She reconnected with Alecia, an old friend who lived in Costa Rica. Actually, she lives in West Virginia now, but was in Costa Rica for many years.

It started out when she received a wrong number from Costa Rica. That reminded of her old friend, and she mentioned her to Debbie/Darlene, Alice's niece. Debbie/Darlene e-mailed Aleisha's son, who got them together on the phone today.

There was a lot going on at the table tonight, so I probably missed something, but it's a neat story that we wanted to share.

Alice Celebrates the Souper Bowl

No, not the Super Bowl, The Souper Bowl of Caring, a national non-profit that utilizes Super Bowl weekend to mobilize youth to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities. Alice getting ready to go - I mean, ready to go. She and Shorti picked up two other women and went out for a night on the town with The Souper Bowl.

Alice with Rev. Brad Smith, founder of The Souper Bowl and a great friend to the Baldauf family.

Alice with a lady in red who I don't know. Heck, she's only been in Columbia for about six months and knows more people than we do!

This is Alice with Hayes Noble, who used to work with Shorti, and two other people I don't know - and they're all men! Maybe Sister and I should start going out with Gramma!

Alice, Jane Williams and Scott Elliott, a fixture on this Blog!

To close out the night, Charlotte and Alice. Charlotte and Alice are San Jose friends, among other things.

Alice's Flu Shot

Well, here she is AFTER her flu shot! For her NC friends, this is Dr. Word, and even though he is younger than Dr. Collins, he is taking very good care of her.

Alice and The Girls

The girls came over tonight and made Halloween treats. Alice did more watching that making, but she was a big help.

Here she is modeling the eye cookies.

And enjoying a cake with the girls, Frances Anne and Shorti. (The cake was store bought, by the way. The girls aren't THAT good!)

Alice "Ray" Kay

Did you know that Alice was pulling for the Rays? Debbie Darlene - who is from Tampa - sent Alice this t-shirt. Everyone in the family is pulling for the Rays except MP. MP is pulling for Boston because she has a cute pink Boston baseball hat.

Supermodel Alice

Tonight, the girls came over and made Halloween treats with Shorti and Alice. Beth took some pictures of Alice to send to her church in Vass for the directory. These were the best. Help Alice pick a favorite - which one do YOU like best?
