From Scales to Tales

How can the doctor's scales say Fio weighs (number redacted) when she went through what was surely ten pounds of Kleenexes last week?

Wish Fiorella well. Today's the day she and Sonia Dog will make their maiden voyage over to Dairy Queen with Doggie dressed to the nines in her new red harness. We HOPE it will keep both her and Mommy safe, but if there's any indication to the contrary, Fio will make a v-e-r-y s-l-o-w turn and return home.

A new baby in the family! At long last, friend Evelyn's physician daughter is pregnant.  Ladies, it's never too late nowadays 🧡🧡🧡!

Fio had a long two hours to fill yesterday between her Austin meetings with Friend Evelyn and Friend Kaye so she took a big, heavy, three-ring notebook with her, hoping to review that story she wants to finish up, but it was hard to concentrate in Central Market with the ravens flying in and out around the tables--though the ravens did give her ideas she might add into another story.

Fiorella and her neurologist had a great time exchanging stories yesterday, and he didn't have any problem with her not being able to find her Humana card. But then, he's been shooting her up with botox for at least fifteen years so he knows she's legit.
