After spending four of the last six days in the car, I’m so over this view:
It was a fun trip, it was great to get to see (most of) the family and I’m very happy to be home for the (rest of the) summer. More later!
p.s. Rabbit rabbit and happy Aunt Kay’s birthday, everyone!
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, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, 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. Ralph 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 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...

Nothing like a Great American Road Trip to test your sanity, and these days to empty your wallet.

Ooh, this reminds me of some Indy Jones IV trivia: The dividing line between opposing lanes used to be white. I actually remember that from when I was a kid in California. They changed it to yellow sometime in the early 70’s, and such a road made it into the movie, which is supposed to take place in 1957.

Thanks for remebering my birthday. It was great seeing you all this past weekend.
