Maybe we should call the blog, "The Adventures of Alice the Cat"

I don't think it is just Alice though, my friend, Beth, has a cat that looks and acts just like Alice, despite the cats living thousands of miles apart.  Maybe it is the type of cat...weird tortoise shell.

The Girl and I cleaned off seven years of debris from the bookshelf in the homework corner.  We decided that the likelihood of anyone "doing" a second grade phonics workbook was pretty low-many other workbooks and old textbooks were moved/removed/disposed of...leaving us with a foot wide opening on the shelf.  Whoo-Hoo--room for more books!  But, um, no...really room for a cat!  In the third picture it looks like she is reading the Spanish book.

 In other "news"...there was a beautiful sunset the other night--made the yard look all glow-y and pretty!
