No, I’m not asking YOU to take the challenge...so relax!!! 🙂 I was recently called out by my friend Natalie Firman on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and I accepted against my better judgment. In the end, I got iced TWICE! I hope you enjoy the little 3-minute video my husband and I put together for the challenge. With all the really ugly stuff going on in the world right now, it was nice to take a mental break from it all and just be a little silly. And please notice that – true to form – I used tablescaping etiquette by getting doused with ice from an heirloom silver ice bucket!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your week, everyone, and please join me next week for Cuisine Kathleen‘s “Farewell to Summer” tablescape challenge!

YOU ARE ONE BRAVE (CLASSY) LADY, Alycia!!! I was afraid you were going to challenge all your blogging friends, so I was afraid to watch your video! Very clever, very fun! I did think it was a great idea to wear a hat, then you went and got all brave on us! Love it!! (I’d write a check, but ice water???? No, ma’am!! Not this girl!!). Thanks for the fun and the $$ to a good cause! ~Zuni

Alycia, that was really, really funny, sincere, and brave. Glad you did not raise your legs too high while having so much fun. 🙂 Ramon was a good sport! How he puts up with your fun and foolishness, I don’t know. It was for a good cause and you were willing to take the challenge as you have been throughout your life. That’s how I’ve known you, raised you, and am therefore very proud of all that you do.

That was hilarious and only you would use an heirloom ice bucket. Oprah has nothing on you my dear. I, like others that have commented before am so happy that we weren’t challenged. I would have loved to see the look on Ramon’s face when you were being doused, not just once, Twice!!!
