All about Me, Me, Me, Me, Me!

Yes, I drink strange
And I'm not going to change--
It's water or milk, never coffee or tea
And when it comes to food
I don't like to be rude
But not much appeals to me

Ever since the hip replacement, Fio has favored her left leg. Then it suddenly dawned on her yesterday that she could buy a couple of pairs of shoe soles, turn over two of the soles to match the others, cut the four to size, glue them together, slip them into her right shoe, and be even-legged again. 😄

As far back as she can remember, Fiorella has tried to avoid personal conflict by walking away from whomever she is debating because she knows that the only thing that objection does is intensify the opposition viewpoint. On the other hand, she'll fight a tiger to the death for a cause she believes in.

Fio just learned that friend Paula and her husband will soon be moving to Vermont to be with their daughter and her family, which makes your girl happy for them, but sad for herself. She and Paula first met when they were teaching at UT many years ago. Since then, both of them have encouraged and consoled each other, written books, and become mothers, then grandmothers. Time marches on.

It's raining outside, which is a rarity in Texas, especially this year. The grass at the back of her house has turned green and the iron plants at the front of the house are blooming like crazy. Maybe their joy will help Fiorella sell her house.
