Fashion, Politics, Literature

There is so much that Fiorella doesn't care about any more--like jewelry or stylish clothes. She lives in the country, goes out to meet with friends or pick up groceries only about once a week, and the dog doesn't care what she is wearing
     However, being an artist, Fio has a good color sense and, every day, comes up with a new cute outfit based on country-girl slacks/jeans and augmented by the remains of Husband's collection of tee-shirts. During cold weather, of course, she will pull a heavy sweater over her T, and, as you may have guessed, her shoes and socks are always matched up with the rest of her ensemble.
     Yesterday, just for fun, she wore reddish cargo slacks, a bright yellow sweater over a purple tee, then pulled on beige socks and brownish shoes. all of which made her laugh.
     You couldn't miss Fiorella in a crowd of thousands.

Your Fio is very pleased with the way the Democratic primaries have gone so far, and she is especially impressed by the way that, when it became obvious that the majority of the voters favored Biden, the lesser lights conceded gracefully. Most of them are up-and-comers whom, Fio hopes, will show up in cabinet positions, still pushing their own causes, like Student Loan forgiveness and gun control.
     Of course, there are still a few more steps to climb: Bernie and Trump. Fio hopes the former will put country in front of ego and bow out, and that the latter can be overcome, which will mean not only intense campaigning,  but also combating election fraud and fake narratives.

In cleaning out her late Husband's office, Fiorella came upon a little book of poems and observations he'd written. She sent them off to kids and nephews, but kept a few back for herself. Maybe someday she'll put together a book of Husband's poems and her own--sort of like Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
     Yeah--as if she has the time to even get her own stuff out there!
