Stories with a Twist

FlatRose found Pink Baby Alligator at the Florida Writers Conference! Tickled pink!

Rose was supposed to go with me to Kansas to a meeting. When I got there, I couldn’t find her. I looked all through my luggage. No Rose.
I asked some people at the meeting, “Have you seen Rose?”
“Rose who?” they asked, as they clutched their Pink Baby Alligator books.
I wanted to take a picture of Rose. With me. In Kansas. No Rose anywhere. Definitely not in Kansas.
On my flight home, I got a text.
“Found Rose. She couldn’t find pink flamingos to hide with so she hid in the pink flowers.”
There she is!
Rose absolutely loved Japan! Here are a few of her favorite pictures. And if anybody asks, she’s ready to go back anytime!

Flat Pink Baby Alligator is traveling in Japan. Mt. Fuji is awesome. At first, the peak seems to be another cloud, but then when you look again, there it is!

Flat Rose rode on a bus to go see Mt. Fuji.

Traveling in Japan is amazing!

Pink Baby Alligator is helping Baron show off his new pool. He invited her to his Pool Party.

Ever the gentleman, Baron is encouraging Pink Baby Alligator to get into the pool. No really. The water’s not that cold. C’mon in!

It was bound to happen. Pink Baby Alligator has gone Hollywood on us! I’m sure she’ll stay her own sweet self and not forget her little people. Isn’t that what all the Big Stars say?


Pink Baby Alligator visited the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium with her Southern California friends. Do you see the seahorses checking her out? Carbrillo Aquarium is the most beautiful ever! After all, Pink!

It’s Spring! Once again, Walt Disney World outdoes themselves at the Flower and Garden Festival. Beautiful flowers, beautiful day. Big thanks to Landy for taking #FlatRose to Epcot!

Pink Baby Alligator was invited to an Easter Cookie Decorating Gala in Southern California. Aren’t they gorgeous! Can you tell which ones are her favorites?
And can you guess who might be helping her with her photographic pose? Of course – the Pink and Blue Easter Honey Bunny!

Pink Baby Alligator is in California, Dog Sitting Baron. Well, technically Pink Baby Alligator is sitting ON Baron, but let’s not split dog hairs.
Sweet Baron, who is saying with a look, “Haven’t you people heard of letting sleeping dogs lie?”
