UP, UP, AND AWAY/ WHAT A GREAT DAY/ EXCEPT THAT THE NEWSPAPER / HAD NOTHING TO SAY!

 Your girl didn't know that the Austin American Statesman doesn't deliver on Memorial Day--or is it that the newspaper deliverers just took a day off? Whatever, Fio will let whomever it is to have a day off....a single day off--before she starts calling up the newspaper like she did the last time.

How wonderful it is to have friends who keep up with Fiorella by phone and on line because, as you know, she doesn't have any local friends, partially because she doesn't have any young children and partially because she doesn't drive.

Hey, hey, hey--it's been almost three years (or is is four?) since Fio moved in, but she has finally gotten her bedroom in totally good shape--in fact, it's a miracle! Now to tackle her study/salon/studio--whatever you want to call it--which will be much harder. After all, the room contains not just all your girl's art supplies (which are monumental), but also almost every book that she, her late husband, Fio's family, and husband's family ever owned. You want to drive over and help your girl go through them all some time?

THIS IS YOUR GIRL'S GOOD DAY! Her new glasses have been found--in Son L's car--which explains why Fio kept thinking that the last time she's had them with her was when she dropped them when we were in a hurry to get some place. WOW, WOW, WOW!

AND HERE'S THE BEST YET! Son L also found that gold necklace with the flawed clasp that Fio thought she had lost in one of her favorite eateries about a year ago!

 Your German Lesson (and mine): Nachmittag, which means  "evening time" or, as a poet would say "even time." The  ch combo is pronounced like an English "k," and "mittag" sounds just as it does in English, although the tt(s) are more vibrant.
