Del Espanol al Chocolate

Friday--viernes. Si! Fio is trying to take up her Spanish studies again.

Being a widow means that one has to deal with the past, the present, and the future all at the same time. Thus Fiorella is clearing out her house, setting up a business, and looking for a new house to share with Son's family.
     Wait a minute, Fio--did you say you're setting up a business?
     Yes, after giving away a couple of hundred dollars worth of buttons and badges, I've decided to go commercial. Not enough to make a profit, but enough that I'm not draining my bank account. Would you like to put in an order?

Did Fio tell you friend Evelyn gave her a lead on a house in her own area that will be going up for sale soon? Anyone else who knows of a four-bedroom house in Central Texas with a nice yard, please contact your faithful correspondent.

Even as Fiorella searches out a new house, she sorrows over leaving her old one;
     The songs of the rocks
     The breeze in the trees
     How can  I ever
     Live without these....

Guess who bought fifty dollars worth of chocolate at Lamme's Candy when she was in Austin? Guess who told herself she was buying it for her cousin in Ohio, but ate it all herself? Guess who bought a new batch and quickly wrapped it up and put it in a nice box, then hurried it down to FedExKinkos for mailing because she knew what would happen if it remained in the house for even a few minutes?
