Alice:	Always	the butler...He (Albert Baldwin) always rinsed his

cream...
Alice: And then Miss Popo and Miss Meme would bring over some hot cakes, they were orange, orange flower.
Mamoo:	Orange flower batter cakes. They lived on Kellerac Street
which	was	right in back of Grandpapa's house	and	they	loved
Grandpapa.	You see, he'd get up every morning you	know and qo
horseback riding. I told you that.

Mamoo:	We didn't like that at all.
Alice: So we had	a very	good time.
Mamoo: Oh he had	a good	sense	of humor.
Alice:	And then also, he had the funnies, do you remember that?
He'd put it down	on the	floor	and ?	Grandpa	was one	and	they	had

Alice: The comics.
