Alice kitty with her dad, Michael, my grandson! Taken sometime before 2021.

Thanks to another cat-lover on the internet...not Alice, but gotta love those pink bean paws.

Sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters

Today's quote:

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. Eleanor Roosevelt An Old photo: Barb & John Baumgartner Winter Prom 58 or 9 - I would have thought that a spring prom dress, but those are Christmas trees sprayed white.

My grand-cats, Bandit and Alice, among others...

Funny, they don't know each other. But when I sat down to pet each of them, they felt perfectly at home, and Bandit even showed me his belly on first meeting him! Pretty radical acceptance!

They live in different households, yet they may be destined to meet someday...

Marty put up his artificial tree, even fluffed it so it was more natural looking, but then a few minutes later it had a "cat level complete with cat." He didn't do any more! And it stayed vertical throughout the holidays.

Since I did no decorating in my home this year, I wasn't disturbed at all.

Alice was happy to pose for me...making sure I caught her beautiful eyes! She has two other kitties that live with her, but they were more shy.

No more trite phrases

How long do you think I can write blogs without including trite phrases?  It will be a good challenge...to use English as a more expressive language.

Does this mean that I have nothing better to say than to look at my grammar?  Perhaps.

II give you a wonderful piece of sculpture that inspires me, as well as resonates with my own mental questions.

And a fascinating piece of art : "Alice Through the Looking Glass" located in Guildford’s Castle Grounds (Surrey, UK.) in a walled garden behind the bowling green, close to the house where Lewis Carroll used to live.

When I went through a wonderful re-birthing ritual in the 1990s, I took on a new name.  Alice.  Haven't really used it, as it's kind of a spirit-name.  So it goes well with my intention to speak with more awareness and honesty.  I didn't include succinctness however.
