Three Concerns and Two Occurences

It seems like every time Fio strikes ten items off her to-do list, twenty more appear.

It's hard to dismantle a house and still keep it presentable.

Sometimes Fiorella gets tired of always being the responsible one.

You want to know how nutty Fiorella is? She couldn't take Sonia Dog with her on her errands  yesterday because the Mercedes, which has a generous back seat, is still in the shop being repaired from when Fio yanked its front fender halfway off at DQ last week, so Fio faked a pup cup, Doggie's usual Thursday treat, for her. Pulling into the DQ driveway in her no-back-seat Miata, she ordered a small cone, and when it arrived, she asked for a plastic lid. At home, she transferred the ice cream into the lid so Sonia Dog wouldn't realize her pup cop was a fake.
       You may also wonder who Fiorella didn't order a cone for herself--it's because she'd eaten an entire Dove Bar that morning, her stomach did not approve of her choice, and she wasn't about to make matters worse.

God bless neighbor Kathy. She stopped by after work yesterday evening and uprighted Fio's friendship plank, the one usually sitting out front on one side of the driveway. Then she kindly sprayed Fio's water-repellent on her family of Tide pumpkins for her. Your faithful correspondent  will probably put the pumpkins out for show this morning and post pictures of them--with the help of her friends at Verizon.
