Alice Benedict Radez

Read Dan’s post about Logan’s 1st birthday. I remember the “Who’s number one” chant. We continue to have questions come up that we would have expected Alice to have the answer, but have to deal with it ourselves. Things are quiet here at the house on Iris Drive. I’m slowly digging out of years of Sew News magazines, newspaper clippings, tons of family pictures, scraps of fabric, sewing machines and still have quite a ways to go on all of the other crafts Alice dabbled in. Have cleared off the back porch and re-sided and painted the house. More stuff planned, like updating the interior and landscaping. Also got rid of 2 cars. Down to one only now. Every now and then I read the emails from last Nov 6 and beyond. Certainly brings a lump to my throat and a knot in my stomach. Probably always will, in spite of trying to move on with an normal life. She’s in a better place now. It was good seeing the Benedicts at Cream Hill this Spring. Would have liked to make it to Cape May this Summer, but had other issues to contend with. Maybe next year. Alice would have enjoyed the updates to the house. It needed (continues to need) to be done after 25 years. She would have marveled at how fast Logan is growing up and at how much fun he is. He keeps us entertained and loves to be the center of attention…….More later,,,,,,Kip
