Sssh! I’ll tell you a secret! Emmie’s off at school most of the time these days and Nonnie has recently decided that it’s a shame for her room to just sit empty and unused, so she’s been doing some squatting. We may be experiencing a turf war when Emmie comes home for the holidays…
In other news, plenty of critters are already up at the Modulator’s ark! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Be safe, healthy and happy!
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...
