Finding Things

Fiorella searched the house upside and down last night, trying to find the TV remote. She and Sonia were the only ones at home, so where could it have gone? Fio's eyes settled on Doggie, who was sprawled on the couch asleep, the same Doggie who would settle down on ANYTHING connected to Fio, and bade her time. There was a rumble of rain outside and, as Sonia Dog rolled over, Fiorella's quick hand grabbed the remote from under her belly and placed it on the arm of the sofa. No way she was going to miss Colbert!

It's mid-year, so Fio's doctor has her going through a whole list of medical appointments. Today it was a mammogram and a bone-density test. Fiorella girded her loins by meeting up with friend Ashley at Starbucks beforehand. After the tests, she visited The Caring Place, a local charity, to get an idea of what to claim  on her income tax for her donations. Lots of nice things there at basement level prices. The US is indeed a rich country.

Sonia and Fiorella went outside in early evening, and Fio picked up several pieces of flint from the dry creek. If she could, she'd corner the world market on it.
