“Alice” was my Grandmother and “Molly,” her sister. This site is a tribute to them. Humble, yet, proud they made a life for themselves, far from England. Someone once commented, “Like a girl gang but not in a bad way.” Theirs was a simpler time. There was quiet laughter, mystery, whispered words, hat pins, and a frying pan. Poetry was clipped from newspapers and glued into bound books. Alice owned a Pug named “Tipsy.” The sisters were resilient.

Love this.
Here’s a quote for your site, “It is the allure of an ordinary life that captures attention.”
You are a writer I love to read. How is memoir going?
I suppose I will find out as I hop around your pink world:>)
(My new great niece is Lily Grace…Grace has always been a fave name…trying to dig up a story I wrote years ago about an old woman, Grace, remembering her experiences with Fairies and other wondrous friends.)
I do go on, don’t I?

Grace and fairies? I would love to read that story! This “Grace” used to spend so many hours building houses, furniture, and traps to catch them in! LOL! Lily Grace could be a character in your story (that you must find). Thanks for the comment, Patt!
PS~ I enjoy reading your blog as well!
Best,
Lynne/Grace
PS~ I plan to use the quote; hope that’s okay with you?!?

I’ve only just read this moments AFTER my response to your “Tea with Alice” blog post. You are definitely onto a universal and compelling theme. Best of luck, Alice S.
Such a beautifully crafted, thoughtful, “About Me” page. Rich and full of nooks and crannies. Love this! X
PS The quote from Anne Lamott speaks right to the heart.
