The "I LOVE everything Alma" thread
« on: April 23, 2006, 12:35:08 pm »
I'm sure that some people will feel that to omit Alma from the love that is going around with these threads would be a travesty. Thus the incorporation of the not so unimportant

The "I LOVE everything Alma" thread :) :D 8) :-\ ;D :laugh: No kidding, take this seriously! ;)

I LOVE Alma's taste in men ( but I guess that could be said of Cassie or Jack)  :-*

Anyhoot, one thought per post please

like anybody ever listens to that kind of notice ... Ha!

I love how Alma says, "You forgettin' somethin'?" when Ennis almost leaves his creel case behind - perhaps even the one in which the note is tied to his line.
No more beans!

I love Alma for not viciously "outing" Ennis to all the neighbours after she discovered what was up.
I love that she dint create a hell of a scene after catching them snugging at the bottom of the stairs.  I mean, she could've majorly freaked out, yelled profanities at the top of her lungs and hurled kitchen sharp utensils at them.. ;D 
I love her for keeping her cool and taking a second to catch her breath.


[We used to have a neighbour who whacked her husband over the head with a frying pan when she found out he was having an affair...Thankfully, he dint die, but was in hospital for a week!  Good thing Alma didnt freak out in a similar manner! lol  ;D]

I love Alma's effort to keep the family finances above water, by taking the extra shift. Ennis can't understand, or appreciate it, but SOMEONE has to pay the bills and Ennis (though I Love him) doesn't seem to mange the household finances as well as he wishes he would. She made the meal - Ennis can serve it!

I love that from the other room Alma knows Alma Jr.'s nose needs wiping.

I love that Alma didn't think they should sit so close to the front at the fireworks display because Jenny might get scared.

I LOVE  Alma for the 4 years of relative pleasure and contentment that she gave Ennis after he came down from the mountain. The toboggan scene, the movie scene, the children ... they were good years.

Why aren't there more posts here?????

After the night at the Motel Siesta, Ennis comes home and finds Alma sitting at the dinette table, in between a cup of bitter black coffee and a sugar dispenser. She is facing toward the sugar, but when he comes in, she turns and faces towards the coffee. Yup, that's how it is, and that's why I love Alma.

A question: with Alma's sewing machine prominently featured against the wall of the living room, and with Alma's knitting, I wonder if there are other parallels to Penelope in the character of Alma? Penelope was the wife of the lead character in the Odessey.
