Jueves

Yes, Fiorella is trying to rescue what little Spanish she has learned, but time and circumstances are against her--no interesting Mexican movie she can watch on TV, no Spanish speaker visiting the house regularly, no time to study the language books--in fact, no time to do anything but keep up with her bills, take care of the house, clear out the dark corners, feed herself and the dog, blast Donald Trump, and, if she has time, work on Lolly's story.

It's past Fio's birthday, but Daughter has sent her a lovely bouquet along with the weekly groceries. 🧡🧡🧡

Your faithful correspondent moved stacks and stacks of canvases and small cardboards down the stairs today, as well as many, many old picture frames. She had no idea that she'd stored away so many art necessities. Hooray!

Fiorella has discovered another fairly large rock outcropping in the front meadow (el parke) and is gathering rocks from the back yard to encircle it for the enjoyment of the future owners. It must be turnover time because there are two for sale signs up in Fio's very stable neighborhood and your girl has received far too many solicitations from realtors.

Fio has lost her cell phone again, which means her dreams will be punctured with croaks of "low battery" all night...again.
