Things Are Looking Up

Don't look now, but Fiorella has located Lolly's story on her old computer and downloaded the first chapter. She'll go over two or three chapters tomorrow (fingers crossed), then look at what else she has. The story was never finished because her editor said it was five years before its time, but Fio figures time has caught up with Lolly by now.

Your girl followed through on the fire thing. Yep, she loaded sticks, branches, and a few short logs on the mountain of gently-used paper she'd created, then lit a match, and the draw from the back door she'd left open took over from there. She likes to think that Husband would have been proud of her.

Brother's birthday is coming up and Fio woke up in the middle of the night with the idea of giving him some kind of music tape, or whatever it is that people use in place of radios these days. She'll have to consult her kids to bring herself up to date with the musical world.

Speaking of music, Fio started singing as she walked down the driveway yesterday--a little opera, a little of fourth grade folk songs. Singing makes her happy, and her voice was fairly clear of the tremor, for once.

Saving the best till last: FIO'S BUTTONS AND BADGES ARE A BIG HIT!  She's been asked to make almost 300 badges for the Georgetown voter registrars and as many DUMP TRUMP buttons as she can. It will take a while, but Fio is up to it. Now let's hope the local craft shops don't run out of blanks.
