I’m Alice, also known as Allie, and I love to write, from letters to blog posts to books. This transplanted Southern gal, is blessed to have recently retired from a rewarding career in education and downsized from a home I loved.

I hope your day is as full of blessings as a bowl of homemade ice cream and fresh, sugared peaches is full of calories!
