More Than You Want to Know About Fio

Fiorella was quite physically active as a child, but not athletic.  She rode her bicycle a lot, notably four miles down the street to catechism classes for two years, and she swam a lot, though it took her two years to learn how to float. True, she played tennis, but while she had a great serve, she couldn't hit a ball back across the net to save her life. Same with volley ball. Her elementary school would send kids out to the playground with a ball and a bat for one week per month, but Fio didn't learn to hit or catch until high school.  Archery was a total loss--Fio kept releasing the arrow before she released the string.

On the other hand, she's really good at walking the dog around the driveway.

Miracle by the Side of the Road

The day is sunny and bicycle riders are blooming on the side of US 183. OMG--look!  Quick!  Call the newspaper!  Get a TV crew out here!  Something must be wrong--a bicyclist stopped for a traffic light!
