ICE CREAM WINS AGAIN!

 

 

The fingernails on your girl's left hand 

Are shiny, long, and beautiful 

While the fingernails on her leftover hand

Are industrious and dutiful

This has been 

A crappy day

And that is all

Fio wants to say

The past couple of days, Fiorella's been studying some Christmas cards she'd concocted long ago when Husband was still alive and she was taking an advanced music class. Our girl had bound together her talents--music and art, languages and literature--and the cards were her heart, but she doubts anyone who received her treasures as anything but homemade cards with neither a Santa nor a bit of sprinkle on them anywhere.

Fiorella received the instructions about how to use city transport for cheap rides yesterday, but having been horribly disappointed by the so called Activity Center, she's holding back on her enthusiasm. We'll see.

On the other hand, your girl LOVES the way she's decorated for Halloween inside the house--the back of the front hall is lined with small pumpkins, she took the silly black paper chain that she'd made (then didn't know what to do with) and draped it over the entry doors to the piano room and added a laughing paper pumpkin to each side of it. Also, she used the double swoop of black bats she'd cut out (then didn't know what to do with) to make a sweep across the wall toward an orange moon. WOW!

Here's a positive to end the blog with: the Ice Cream Girl came jangling down the street and, with the dollar bills and lesser change that Fio had stopped in at the bank to pick up last week, she treated her granddaughter and son to--well--their treats.
