THINGS TO COME!

 Oops, that extra blog was meant for yesterday. Here's today's.

Question: does everyone else get as blue as Fiorella does? It's a semi-rainy day, Granddaughter is in Day Care, Son L got called in for more work, Daughter-in-Law is glued to her earphones, and Fiorella's studio looks like a mausoleum. At the same time, she's wondering how she'll get to her doctor appointments now that Son is taking on more of a workload. Volunteers?

How about Fio gives you a couple of paragraphs to wet your appetite for Lolly's story--

     Lolly swung her car into her aunt's long, asphalt-paved driveway and drove slowly up the hill, hoping a deer wouldn't leap at her like its brother had yesterday. Aunt Sarah's house was forested, like her family's in Dallas, except that it was two story while the Redlander manse was a sprawling one-story on twice as much acreage. Dan had grown up poor and liked living on a grand scale.

     Whew! Her first day of second semester classes, and she'd survived. In fact, right now, she felt pretty damn good. That rush of adrenaline from her confrontation with Mr. Big Deal Cotton Bogart had done the trick, put her on her game, and she'd decided to ace his class After all, how hard could Creative Writing be? She'd seen lots of movies about writers--all she'd have to do is play some mood music, stare at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, then jot down whatever came to mind and she'd have a masterpiece--and  she might as well ace her afternoon classes as well.

Interested? It's been a long time coming....
