Moving Forword--Up, Up, and AWAY!

 OOOOOOOOOWOW! It took Fiorella three hours to go through everything in the cabinet drawer one of her drawers of her bedroom and the space above it....and she's still not sure she took care of everything. 

You guessed it! Fio's on a a housekeeping binge----which shouldn't be so hard because she only has three rooms--a small bedroom, medium-sized art room, and a small display room, but the bedroom, of course, is the one that collects things fastest. It's where your girl can flop across the bed and think life out.

One of the things Fiorella has still been thinking about is her former voice teacher, Mrs. Gustafson, and she's hoping that some of her records are still extant. 

Nun, what should be our word today? Snicker--Fio has already sneaked it in: "nun," with the "u" pronounced as in "foot" means "now."

And just for kicks, your girl will throw in the word for girl: Madchen. (The "a" is pronounced like Englsh "say.)

Has Fiorella also told that the English language is derived from the German? Not that both of them haven't changed as time passes on. 

O M G ! Does your Fio sound like a teacher herself? Well, she holds a Doctorate in Linguistics from University of Texas and has done lots of teaching in her day....
