Always New in Alice's eyes.

Sitting here looking at this picture makes me smile.  There is my beautiful sister her little son Joey and me the baby sister.  I was always following Alice around and staying over at her house.  Those were many many years ago.

This past Sunday I went out to Alice's to take her out for lunch and spend the day with her.  She was very happy to see me even though I had talked to her on the phone on the way out to see her.  She had forgotten I was coming.  We went to Steak N Shake and she thought it was a really nice place and said she had never been there before.  LOL of course she had and it was one of her favorite places to go.

She kept saying how nice it is to get out, and she says she never goes anywhere.  Wrong again.  Irv took her to church that morning and they went to Jack in the Box for breakfast.  I don't know where it came from , but she asked me if I thought Mom would be happy we were out together.  Then she looked up to the ceiling and said (Mom do you see me and Jessie here.  Does this make you happy?) I just smiled and man behind her smiled too.

First she wanted a strawberry shake, then when she saw my cherry coke she asked if she could have one of those too.  Said she had never had one.  We left and went to the store for a little while and then home.

She got upset because Irv bought a cat tower for Miss Kitty to scratch on.  She didn't want it in the floor, but pushed against the wall.  Every time Irv sat it out she would go behind him and move it.  She is very dedicated to what she wants and the way she wants it.  That is the Alice I know.

I stayed for dinner then came home.  It seems easier to do it like that for now.  If I wake up and come out and she is in the front room she get a worried look on her face like who am I and what am I doing in her house.  Well guess I will stop now and wait for my next trip out.
