From POWER GRIDS to HIDEAWAYS!

Don't you just love it when the power grids go out in stone-cold weather because the governor of your state STILL hasn't installed the recommended fixes?  ESPECIALLY IF TWO YEARS AGO, YOU YOURSELF NOT ONLY RAN OUT OF FOOD, BUT  NEARLY FROZE TO DEATH FROM LACK OF HEAT????!

Fio made a good buy with her giant after-sale black-and-white panda. He shelters your girl's Kleenex box, Remote, and glasses as she falls asleep at night and never complain when she grabs him by an ear or rolls him off their double bed. (Oh, dear--I guess he's a male after all, but no name yet.

As far as Fiorella could tell from the sounds, every little girl from miles around was in the house last night. Don't know if that means they like Granddaughter, they like her toys, or if it was our family's turn to babysit.

Fiorella was thinking about her father, who had failed first grade, then went on to be president of of his graduating class. Later, his personality helped him get a good job, and he was able to quickly move up the line. Dad's outgoing personality did most of the trick, but he also made use of the company library to learn all he could about its aims and projects.

There was some rumbling in the hall so Fio stuck her head out her bedroom door and--surprise--spotted Son L and his wife shoving the last of our Christmas decorations up into an attic that your girl didn't even know existed. Hmm...are there other hideaways in the house that Fiorella doesn't know about??😁
