Moving, Painting, Painting, Painting, Lolly

Fiorella is going through a hard time. Her house is a junkyard, the yardman messed up the pathway, she has to devote even more time to packing moving boxes, and she'll have to cough up a nice penny for a team of guys to get the garage in shape and put all the boxes into place. (When Fio's moved before, she had a husband and sons on the scene who handled the heavy lifting.)

One thing for sure, the house your girl lives in next had better have lots of bare walls because she's packing away enough paintings to populate The Louvre--and she plans to paint more. Thank goodness she still has the easel her maternal  grandfather made for her.

Interesting: Fiorella found a painting of her great-grandmother that she'd done from an old photo, when she was a kid, and now that Fio's an adult,  she saw the family resemblance. What if there's a limited number of souls wandering around, and we're all recycled images of our ancestors?

Guess what Fio found in the corner of a cupboard in the art-and-crafts room? Half a bottle of linseed oil! It's from back when she was a kid and was taking took oil painting lessons every Thursday.

Too much was happening yesterday for Fiorella to work on Lolly's story, but there's always today....she hopes.
