Hey, Soren!

January 13, 2023 By Alice Mikell

Happy Friday! How are you doing? I’m quite busy with college applications and whatnot, which is more than a little stressful. How is school? Have you ever noticed that ‘how is school?’ is the only question adult acquaintances like to ask?

I can’t say much of importance has happened in the past two days. I might be working at the grocery store, which is a little stressful. Have you worked anywhere? I know these questions must get repetitive for you if you’re here. Let’s think of something more fun: what’s the coolest name you’ve ever seen on a grave? What’s your favorite soap flavor? What’s your least favorite aphorism? My own answers: Silvius Underwood, Strawberry Snowflakes (from Bath and Body Works), ‘you can’t love anybody until you love yourself’ (for what would I be doing here if it were true?).

Well, I suppose there is little else to say this week. Someday soon I will try to pester Mom to drive us to Eugene once more before I’m off to college (I don’t have a drivers license, or my own car), because I strongly dislike that I can say I was in Greece more recently than I was in Eugene. It feels like something God wouldn’t allow. I’ll leave you with a picture of Paris that looks just a little bit like a surrealist painting.

Detail of ‘Melting Cats’ by Salvador Dalíce, oil on panel, 1939.

With love,

Alice

Letters from Sister

You must forgive me again, for this will be very short. I don’t like to talk about specifics of travel since this is a public website (and who knows who reads it), but we’re flying today and I have no time. I’m up early for this reason. We were in Dublin this week and I…

Happy Juneteenth. Small note. Going to Versailles today — didn’t realize we’d be this busy or up this early, probably won’t have WordPress access for a reasonable while. I love you. The mirror hall is not worth a 6:30 waking. With love, Alice

Thursday is perhaps the least convenient birthday day to have with my Friday writing schedule. How are you Soren dear? I am dead and exhausted. Walking over 10,000 steps everyday. France is so humid and hot right now like the heatwave back in England a few weeks ago. I shall get into more detail about…

Hello I am early. Good God I am tired. I’m going to make this very quick because Mom got here and we’re doing a bunch of stuff that is fun but draining. She arrived Tuesday and we walked to a monument. Wednesday we went to Oxford. Today we went to London (Charles Dickens’ house and…
