This was one for the ages, Bob. I do plan to have a memorial service on April 5th this year to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Baroness' passing. I wish I had been able to do so for Susan Howard in March, but I can still honor her son C.B. Howard on April 19th. I've often seen Alice at the Meridian, and she strolls through her eponymous park from time to time as well. The photo of our farmhouse, now having been admired in Sepia on my laptop, is to be treasured. Sometimes I look out of our upstairs window and imagine myself talking to the original 1908 owners, whose names I don't have currently, but I've often heard from the Howards, who I believe bought the house in 1925. Thanks for sharing the Baroness and her reminiscences with us. BRAVO!!

Bob, they say Nixon wandered the halls of the White House talking to the portraits of former presidents......

The Hurdy Gurdy Girl does have attitude. It's timeless. It makes you forget what she's wearing. Though I can see that she'd be a demanding house guest.

You scotched her plan to claim she was going to block the sun.

Spirits with a spirit quite fitting.

🍸🪗 Dramatic flare, day drinking, and accordion playing -- I'm pretty sure "The Baroness" is my Spirit Animal 🪗 🍸

Bob, we’re here because we love you.

Maybe a little less Lagavulin?
