Fio can tell now definitely tell you that she has at least twenty-four paint brushes in her baggage and probably a few more that she's lost along the way because she was trying to clean up the salon for her birthday (July 15) and spent all day going through of her paintings, half-ways, wanna-be's, and almost-there's.
Yes, your girl has started painting again, more or less--which means when she damn well feels like it. As far as she knows, there aren't any outside art-capades in town like there were when she lived in Austin when she did twenty years ago. In fact, Fio suspects all the parks have been eaten up by housing and and panhandlers.
Please pray for Fio that she will score a ride back to her old church up north this Sunday. Her now-retired pastor has been trying to find someone who lives near her, but Fiorella hasn't gotten any word yet.
Why does your girl want to attend church, you wonder? Because she misses the solemnity of it, and also the singing and socialization of it that she has had ever since she was a child.
It's the leftovers of Covid that has messed us all up! Even now, some people, especially in the medical field, are still wearing masks to play it safe, and who can blame them?
Are you writing down the German words your girl has given you? Do you know what they all mean? Could you write them all down with out consulting your computer? Think about it.
Today, your new word is Schule, which is as easily pronounced: it's like "Scool" in English.
(Sorry this blog was so out of tune and your girl hopes she's fully corrected it.)
