From Mowers to Politics

Hooray--the riding lawn mower finally sold--for exactly the same amount of money Fio had to put into it to make it salable. Oh, well, it's out of the garage now. Elder son has been great about putting things up for sale and handing the take over to Fio. And on the side, he's repaired everything repairable.

Don't tell anybody, but Fiorella is going to sneak down to Target this afternoon to buy two pairs of tennies--blue and white--to go with her summer ensembles, which are mostly shorts and T-shirts. She'll also drop by H-E-B to pick up some apples and grapes, and maybe make a detour to the only store in town that carries Moonpies.

Just to get herself in the mood, Fio's been skimming old romances lately, the ones that inspired her to write her own books, and she'll probably haul into that third Bosque Bend book after Son and his wife head off to Minnesota. That was the one that got sabotaged by her PC not allowing her to revise, a quirk Fio hopes to avoid by writing on her new Mac. Wish her well!

Fiorella had an interesting go-around with AT&T yesterday when she called to get the street address of the company because they had not included it with her bill. The guy on the other end of the line couldn't understand what she was asking for and kept trying to get her to pay on line--AND HE'D EVEN WAVER THE FIVE-DOLLAR CHARGE FOR HER! The hell your Fio was paying five bucks extra on a bill that had just arrived in the mail the day before so she went round and round with Dumbo until he finally coughed up the address. Mission accomplished.

Two of Fiorella's friends are running for office this year and Fio wants to support them. She's thinking of designing badges like the DUMP TRUMP one she always wears and passing them out to all and sundry.
