G-Dog and I went to our favorite auction last night (Emmie’s posted about it before). It’s a monthly event, with food, wine, and all sorts of treasures — some that are quite unexpected. We go whenever we can. Sometimes we find something to bid on, but mostly we’re just there to take it all in. Here are a few photos from this weekend’s fun (this time around, we ended up with a set of Waverley novels and a chair/ottoman for the study)…
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who plays a supporting role on the blog. She's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...

Beautiful photos, Alice.
where are you going to put the penguin?
And if you can’t find a good spot for the penguin, I’ll take him!
