BIRTHDAY TIME!

 How nice! It isn't even noon and Fiorella has already received TWO happy birthday phone calls--one from childhood friend Elaine and the other from Cheriot, an organization she has supported that provides transportation for people who don't drive anymore. Whahoo! Whats next? 😁

In the meantime Fiorella is going through her old romances--the two she got published and the ones she didn't finish--to get in the mood for writing again. And if you're wondering about why she writes romances, it's because she likes happy endings.

OOOPS! Some of Fio's clothes were washed in VERY hot water and a pair of her shorts have shrunk. She'll have to pay more attention to the set on the washer next time around.

Happiness! A cousin that she hasn't seen in about five years (when she used to drive) had been invited to her birthday party today. WHEW! Fio had been worried about him at one time, but all is well and he's playing a part, as is Son L, in the family business inherited through your girl's sister's-in-law's side of the family. Got all that? 

Dang! There were enough people at her birthday party that your girl's panic button went off and she couldn't converse as well as she should have. Hope no one got offended.....

  GERMAN: This is a GOOD ONE!  Nachmittag  (evening time)

  A capital letter, of course, and the " a's" are soft, ch" more of an "k" with spirit as with the "g."
