What a day! Nephew and his wife kindly took what seemed like half a ton of CDs off Fiorella's hands, delivered the BBQ smoker to the neighbors for her, and spent a lovely couple of hours visiting with her and Minnesota Son. They also gave Fio some ideas about how she can pick up a few bucks on some of the other stuff lying around the house.

The county is putting in a new bridge at the foot of Fio's property soon, and she's both thrilled and concerned. Thrilled that she won't be house-bound by an overflowing "dry" creek anymore and concerned because of the mess the construction will make.

Fio thought Nephew and his wife's visit would be the highlight of her day, but then she received a call from a childhood friend and they stayed on the line forever exchanging family information and their lives. There's a warmth in getting together with someone who's known you since way back when.

Darn! Fiorella missed Saturday Night Live again--not that she ever watches the whole show. Like Colbert's opening monolog, the cold opening is enough for her. Both of them make her laugh, and then she drifts off to sleep smiling.

What's on your schedule for today Fio? Aside from grocery shopping and getting my blood checked out, not much--just learning how to use my new double-duty printer, trying to get Kindle to release the books I damn well paid for, helping son clean out the garage, contacting someone for dry wall work in the kitchen and upstairs closet, paying bills, reviewing tax information my accountant sent me a months ago but which my old printer couldn't deliver, and handing over a fat check to my probate lawyer. Colbert better be good tonight!
