From Dawn to Dusk

 WHOOPEE! Daughter wants to take Fio girlie shopping today--like for new bras and maybe a few more cute outfits. Your girl is in seventh heaven ! 💗💗💗

Later in the day, the extended family will gather to celebrate Fiorella's brother's wife's birthday at  a very nice restaurant that your girl and Husband used to regularly frequent. Wahoo! 

As you can tell, Fio is feeling G-O-O-D today. It looks like she's winning her battle with the carpal tunnel aftermaths, everything is getting set for her knee surgery, and she's making plans for her future that she wouldn't even have thought about a couple of months ago.

EEEEK! Fiorella had to change clothes and dash out to the party so she's just now, at10:pm, continuing her daily report. It was sister-in-law's birthday party and, as they say, a good time was had by all. Gatherings like these are wonderful for catching up with everyone. Your girl will also add that she got to wear her new RED RED RED DRESS!

The party was in the evening so we all stayed after the sun went down, which meant, when we broke up, that Fiorella got a good look at Austin in fading twilight. Actually, the city she had lived in for most of her adult life somehow seemed more real than it had at daytime, when everything seems to have a new face.
