FIORELLA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY! WOO, WOO!

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODid Fiorella also mention that during eighth and ninth grade (North Junior High with Miss Hubbard,) she took the major roll of the Captain Hook and and also learned how to debate? And that in High School, she participated in duet acting and debate? At the same time your ever-reading girl was learning Latin and writing her own little plays?

Somewhere along the line, Fio managed to join the English Literary Society, write little plays, and prepare for college, learning excerpts like from Fledermaus).

In civic theater, Fio appeared in Finian's Rainbow, Guys and Dolls, Beggar's Opera, and Euphrusine. She also composed some carols and formed her own group of Three Little Pigs for young audiences.  She also composed some carols. 

Basically, your girl is writing all this information down so she will remember it and so the reader might even be inspired by it. YES, YOU TOO CAN SING! YES TOO YOU CAN WRITE SONGS ON YOUR OWN! MUSIC, ART, LATIN, LANGUAGES, COMPOSITION: YOU CAN DO IT ALL IF YOU TRY!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GERMAN NUMBERS: eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zhen     

Note how much they are like the English!  Or rather, how much English is like German?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO       What had Rafe McCallister done to her? Her pulse was thumping an her nerves humming, and she felt like she was floating on air. God help her, that was exactly what it had been like when Collin kissed her for the first time. 

Remember that, Moira, and don't let yourself get caught in another spiderweb. Forget about love--the windshield wipers backed her up with each swish--sex only, sex only, sex only.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

REMEMBRANCES

 

My family had undergone strange reverses through the years. When my children were younger, they wanted to exchange their nickles and quarter for pennies. Now they want to change their coins into bills and wouldn't be caught dead with pennies. 

My teenager used to do anything to escape bathing, hair-washing, and toothbrushing. Now he monpolizes the upstairs bathroom every morning and considers Polo cologn his most important school supply.

It's a losing battle-- I, who fought my mother at bedtime everynight for eighteen years, will do anything to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon now.

My children see no connection between the wet bathroom floor and the fact that they 'have no socks the next day.

High School students work hard at becoming clones of each other. It's a perfect age for drill teams--and the only one.

TOO MUCH GOING ON, BUT YOUR FIORELLA WILL SURVIVE!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

Up and down, up and down! Fio is so happy about getting a hold of someone who will drive her to church periodically, but she's also crying about how hard it is--maybe impossible to finish off her large painting. The problem, which she didn't realize would be such a snag, is the canvas itself. It holds water, which makes your girl's brush strokes streak and dribble. 

Then there are the old television shows which, since she hands no friends, she relies on to lull herself to fall sleep at night. Where have her favorites gone? And why are the new ones so second rate?

And then there's the LIVELY that Fio has has yet to talk or receive on because SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW TO! Every little old lady in your girl's kindergarten class could record her granddaughter's'graduation into first grade except Your's Truly!

To top it off, the canvas that she's painting the family portrait on allows wet paint to go through it! Your girl is going to have to slow down and let various colors dry before she goes on. GRRRRRRRRR!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 "A new beginning. It's the only thing former child star Moira Farrar wasnts. Putting her painful Hollywood in the rear view mirror, she's headed to Texas and to an exciting new job directing a small-town theater group. But it's the sinfully sexy smile of redheaded rancher Rafe McAllister that make Moira dream of starting over. 💗"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OFF TO CHURCH I'LL GO--GO--GO !

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hip, hip, hooray! Fiorella has finally scored a ride to her church!😀 As she understands it, the pick up will be just for twice a month, but your girl is overwhelming grateful. As she sees it, regular church attendance will open the door to her uniting with old friends and making new ones, all of which she needs in order to move upward in her battle against loneliness.

Hmm...Fio needs to get some new clothes if she's going to attend church regularly. The only ones she has now are jeans and shorts. Hope daughter can help Mom in that regard.

Looking back at loneliness, Fio has noticed that her post-trauma-brigade has dwindled off in the past month or so. Have they given up on your girl?  COME BACK! FIORELLA NEEDS ALL THE COMPANIONSHIP SHE CAN GET! (Hasn't she said that before?)

NOW, about Halloween. Yes, of course Fio will grab up all the miniature pumpkins in H-E-B she can get her hands on to decorate the front hall of the house again, and she thinks she's still got a fair number of witch cut-outs too. Maybe she'll decorate an extra window or two too. But, more important, what will YOU be doing?!😀

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

German: Halloween in das Deutsch in Halloween !

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A sixth sense made her look up.

Rocky was standing just outside of the laundry room, a big smile on her face, a pistol in her hand. She lifted the gun and pointed it at at Moira. Her fingernails were decorated with yellow daisies on a purple background.

"You made me do this. I really didn't want to, but I can't have you standing between me and the C Bar M.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOT HAPPY, NOT HAPPY, NOT HAPPY!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fiorella is so board and lonely: Son is away at work, daughter-in-law is working from home, and even the cats are silent! Your girl does not like loneliness! Where are all those nice medical ladies who visited her when she was recovering from her shock and trauma? The ones that laughed with her and admired her paintings? Will she never see them again?

Right now, Fio is searching her bedroom and salon for what she might use for a picture of a eight-year-old holding a Christmas card in his hand which your girl will try to turn into a Christmas card as the holiday approaches. EEEK-- NOT THAT FAR AWAY NOW!

Oh, and has Fiorella told you that the television people have cut off her for-free contact to her favorite movies? And this isn't the first time--that they do it every time she hangs onto a show that she likes, like two those of Goldie Hawn.

Right now, Fio is sort of upset so that's all she'll say.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Moira smiled as she walked up the wide steps of the imposing yellow buildings. Her life had changed a lot since the first time she entered the portals of the Mosque Bend  Museum. And it was all for the better. 

Her costume had changed to. The weather was springtime-wam so she'd worn a short crimson dress with a stylishly flared skirt. No need for her safari dress or sensible shoes any more. She was flying high. Gift of the Magi was a hit, and she was engaged to Red Rafe. 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HELLO! BANG! I OVERSHOT!

 OOOPS, FIORELLA OVER SHOT SO CONSIDER THIS BLOG FOR TOMORROW

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Running TWO posts? What the heck! Fio did get back to her painting and some of it is looking pretty good now, but lack of contact with the rest of the world isn't the best way to make one's conversational skills razor sharp. What your girl needs is conversation--lots of it!

There's an article in the newspaper about a foursome of local artists setting up a shop to to advertise their good, etc., but she isn't sure they are your girl's types of painters. Fiorella is more of a parkside set up and they seem to be fishing for bigger bait

Darn...Fio crushed one of her small gold fixtures. She doesn't remember who gave it to her, but if you're the one who did, thank you and please forgive her. 😢

 None of the nice women who drop by to check up on Fiorella have showed by lately and your girl is missing them. PLEASE, PLEASE, COME BACK TO ME! 

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

     She shivered. The place had a bad feel to it, and they we re all alone.

     Not quite alone. A white horse was alloping toward them at breakneck speed.

     Rafe stood up in his saddle.  "Damnit. I've told Rocky not to run Bella like that!"

     Moira felt an urge to hide her face as Rocky approached. Now Rocky would know she'd spent the night.

      But what was there for her do do--pull the saddle blanket over her head? And it wasn't as if the channels of communication in Bosque Bend hadn't already spread the word far and wide that Moira Farar   had gone home with Rafe McAllister last night.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO                                                                                                           

NOT HAVING A GREAT DAY, BUT WILL SURVIVE.......OOPS--FORGOT TO POST IT ALL LAST EVENING!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

Fiorella is down and out today. She's been mostly working on the 4x5 and doing pretty well with it--until she wasn't. For some dumb reason, she started criticizing everything she had done on her painting, then tried it redo it all. Suicide, you say?

Your girl is wearing tannish color shorts and a University of Texas Hook'm Horns shirt from times past. She never knew either of them would last this long, nor that she could survive without a single dress in her closet. 

Hmm.... Fio used to make a fair number of her clothes too. Where are they? Lost in a long-ago transit or stuffed in a box that was never opened? (Will Fiorella have to climb up the ladder under the roof and empty all the leftover boxes for herself?) 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The dark.....  das Dunkel

The light.....  das Licht (emphasize the "icht" with a swooping sound)

 Rafe set Delilah down and touched Moira's arm to get her attention. She jerked as if he'd been wiping his feet on a nylon carpet.

Goddamm1 If she was that sensitive when he barely touched her, how would she react when he kissed her? When he held her against him like he had at Oscar's honky-tonk, but this time without everyone in Bosque Bend looking on?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
