All Things Considered....

 Hurray for Fiorella! She made herself some delicious scrambled eggs for lunch today. It was difficult because she was using Daughter-in-Law's ten-inch-wide pan instead of the six-inch pan that she--and her mother--always used. Note to self: Gotta get my inherited kitchen implements out of storage soon.

Monday starts a busy week for your girl regarding her doctor appointments. Strangely, it looks like there are two different doctors vying for her attention. She'll call her once-a-month home-visit nurse to find out what's going on, then let the doctors fall where they may.

The next thing Fio has to do with the parlor she's revived and decorating is to drag Son L to Home Depot to get extra shelves cut for the book cases on which she'll be staging her mother's treasured porcelains  instead of books. Of course, she'll probably also have to get glass or plastic fronts to protect the display from cats and small children, but wish your girl well--it's an ambitious undertaking.

Granddaughter is lucky not only to live in a neighborhood of children, but because the ones nearest to her are all girls. Of course, her three-day-a-week morning play-school has boys attending, but B doesn't seem  too aware of them--although some of them seem to be aware of her. It will be interesting to note how her love life develops as she enters kindergarten and on up. Fio's own crush, in the first grade, was on the principle's son. During recess, when he was chief of the boys team and she was chief of the girls team, they played a catch-me game with lots of excited screaming going on. Hmm...wonder how that relationship would have worked out if your girl's family hadn't moved to Texas.

Fio glances at the sun-shiny sky outside her bedroom window and remembers that this was how it looked before last year's February snowstorm that almost killed her. Of course, she's in a different house now, and although a February snowstorm may occur, she will not be alone this time. Certainly, with Son L, his wife and child on the premises, we will be able to stay warm with body heat and blankets. And because your girl now lives in a settled area, it will be easier for snow plows and rescue vehicles to rescue them.
