A Very Alice Month

I've spent the past two days reading an Ann Rule book (In the Still of the Night) and reading, commenting on and posting on blogs. I have really enjoyed your posts! It's amazing how in touch they keep us! Mark is now working on making Garrett Popcorn's cheese popcorn, at least a close as he can get to it. His last batch of caramel was the best so far. He continues to learn and tweak things, but the cheese popcorn will be harder to do. It has a more complex blend of ingredients (mostly oils). They use coconut oil, for one, which brings more flavor to the recipe. I'm excited for him! Did you know that he made me an Alice book as a surprise? It is on cardstock and each page is in its own page protector, in a binder with a cover sheet. It has the history of the book and then the actual book, plus color illustrations from various editions of it. Wasn't that sweet of him? And at DI, I found an anthology of all of Charles Dodgson's (Lewis Carroll) works. It has gilt-edged pages and a ribbon bookmark, and is in perfect condition! I never knew he wrote anything other than the Alice books (well, I may have known, but forgot about it). So this has been a very "Alice" month. Btw, I prefer the 1939 movie over all the other Alice movies. Gary Cooper plays the white knight in it, and W.C. Fields is Humpty Dumpty. It is based on Through the Looking Glass, which is my favorite over Alice in Wonderland (except for that little door she goes thru in the latter, and the rabbit hole she falls down). I love it when she goes right through the looking glass. Also, when she picks up the little chess people, the story of The Walrus and the Carpenter (love Disney's cartoon-version of that), her playing with Dinah on the chair and getting drowsy, and the queen turning into a sheep. Which parts are your favorites in Alice? Would you mind sharing?
