You will not believe this, but finally, FINALLY, after several years of painting, our girl has finally mastered the art of using her pallet and a cup of water at the same time without spilling anything. However, she tumbled every one of her thirty-eight magical brushes onto the floor this morning....
For those who want to know, Fio is still working on her painting of Mrs. Gus, as everyone called her. Son L's critical comments both hurt and helped--but that's what she asked him for. (He went to art school while your girl was mostly self-taught.)
Fiorella came across a lovely piece that Daughter wrote about her fraternal grandfather the other day and is planning to give it to her at our next get-together so her little baby boy will be able to see what a great person his great-grandfather was and what a great writer his mother is.
Fio talked to Son K on the phone the other day and it had been so long that she had forgotten what a nice speaking voice he has. Why hasn't some advertising company picked him up?
In case you're wondering where Fiorella, who is learning Deutsch along with you, is getting her material, it's bonafide and she's bonafide. ACTIVE GERMAN is the book she's using (Lehmann, Rehder, Schulz-Behrend), and your girl is a PhD linguist who's sort of lost her way. PLEASE HELP HER FIND IT AGAIN!
