Housekeeping

Fiorella spent her morning cleaning the tub, the sink, and the window sill in the master bath--which left her plenty more to do--but, just for kicks, she went downstairs and spent the afternoon packing away the contents of the seven upper kitchen cabinets. Among other things, they held two very nice Chinese cookers of some sort, probably gifts from Younger Son's godmother, Jeanette Faurot, a renowned Chinese scholar and Fio's very good friend.

Did Fio tell you that she'd been rolling up the smaller oriental carpets and taking them out to the garage for transport? She inherited several of the rugs from her late mother-in-law, but who knows which ones are worth anything. It doesn't matter--the artist in Fiorella likes the colors and designs.

It's supposedly autumn now, but our temperatures here in Texas are still in the 100s. Pray for us.

This is too hilarious not to share. Fiorella's phone rang while she was busy with her to-do list and as she picked it up, she noticed the call was from one of those "business" that have a long line of numbers instead of a name.
   "Hello," your girl said, in case the call was legitimate.
   "This is Shawn. How are you doing today," answered a suave male voice.
   "Why do you want to know?" asked Fio.
    He paused, then hung up on her.
    (Yes, it was THAT EASY!)

 Fio is hoping to get around to her closet in the master bedroom today. She'll leave her clothes in place, but her jewelry collection needs to be sorted out and boxed. What sort of treasures will she find?
