ANY SUGESTIONS?

 Big disappointment--Fiorella opened her college German book and suddenly realized (slap hand on forehead) that it required two people to participate in order to make the conversational exchange that was the hallmark of the teaching method. So now your action-packed girl is out in left field again. Is this how it's going to be for the rest of her life? Where does she go from here? It seems that everything she wants to do involves two people--to drive a car, if nothing else.

Oops--Fio forgot to hold back today's blog until she's ready to post it full strength which mans that you'll be getting her thoughts live---like that she's very excited that Son has invited her to to attend Granddaughter's swim class this morning. Your girl lovingly remembers her first lesson in the Akron YWCA pool. Her mother, who grew up next to a lake, had never learned how to swim, but was determined that her children would. 

It's early morning and Fiorella is not only a little groggy but HUNGRY, the latter of which won't be satisfied until after the swim lesson because she's not supposed to eat until she takes her bucket of pills and---sob---we're out of milk, which is what your girl always gulps down her pills with.

EXTRA! EXTRA! The swim class got cancelled. Son L not only brought in Fio's weekly groceries but drove her over to her daughter's house so she could play with the baby and meet his other set of grandparents, whom she liked very much. Then, after she got home she started work on a portrait that she'd painted from a photograph of her father-in-law long, long ago and not liked the way it had turned out. Let's hope she can do better this time around!

Now for the evening, which is usually devoted to old movies/television movies which your girl either can't stand or has seen far too many times before.  And again she asks: WHERE IS UNFINISHED SKY?
