Snorkel and Flippers

Question:

I was reading the About Phyllis page on the Alice website, and I saw that you liked to snorkel. I asked for a snorkel and flippers for my birthday, and I got them! Yesterday I tried snorkeling, and I loved it. Thanks so much for inspiring me. Right now I am reading Intensely Alice. I’m really enjoying it! Thanks again! 

Phyllis replied:

Lucky you!   Having grown up in the Midwest, I didn’t get to snorkel till I was a grandmother.  If I lived on a beach, I’d snorkel every day.
