GOOD AND BAD, BUT FIO WILL GO ALONG!

 WOW! Son L took over Fio's computer for a while, and it's working better than ever! THANK YOU!

The sun is shining hard, the trees are waving around like maniacs, and there is not a soul outside. Texas is just not used to this kind of weather. (In the Ohio of her youth, her mother would have bundled her up in thick clothes and sent her out to play.) 

Yeah! Fio settled down to pay with Son L's pug dogs, called older son (and his wife) who live in Minnesota, and had a nice talk, and, in a few minutes, will be sitting down at the table for supper: salmon, her favorite๐Ÿ˜› 

LATER; The salmon was fabulous, of course, but, Fiorella always wants MORE of it! (Please write that down for when you invite her for dinner.)

Don't tell anyone, but Fio broke one side of her glasses. Luckily, it doesn't matter because she put Scotch Tape on the damaged area, her "bad" side.




 

 


 





I CANNOT LIVE BY BLOUD DRAWS ALONE!

 OH YEIKS, or however it is spelled--Fiorella has lost the little card that the doctor gave your girl for her next visit-- and when she got home. Fio looked in the car and all over her room and couldn't find it.. Looks like she'll have to call up Doctor's number and plead for mercy. (If you want to know, it's a blood draw about once a month, often with George, the inquisitive cat, looking on.)

The trees outside my window are swishing roughly back and forth, but every now and then they use  their manners. Should Fio risk it? (Surprise douses are not unknown.)

That's all I have right now: check me later.

 

OOPS, I didn't publish!

THIS AND THAT

After her husband died, Fiorella thought she could reach back up to her former standard of performance, but she hasn't because he was so much a part of her life: transportation, communication, discussion,  protection, excitement, comfort, laughter, teasing, sweetness, excitement, and many more that you still have. Enjoy them.

OK, Fio will admit that she just looked up one of her high school heart throbs to see if he's still alive ....and maybe single.

Your girl has moved foreword a little further in her quest to re-do the painting of the Ohio house she started out on a couple of years ago. She doesn't have all the colors she needs, but maybe she can pick some up at the local store when her grocery driver comes around.

Remember when your girl got her knees replaced one at a time a while back? Well, all is well except that she still has some nasty sploches on both knees, but everything gets better every day. Ahh, modern medicine!

Rum, Povid, George, Glasses

 Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Not that your girl has ever drunk rum, but she 's feeling good, good, good! Searching through her monumental belongings in her draw, study, salon (what ever you want to call it) she found some of her long-lost Grumbacher oil colors and decided to get them ready for her to give herself a try. She'll have to build up her other brushes and get a nice cupboard before she can go on display, but it's a start, and Mrs. Fischer, her beloved teacher, would be proud of her.....hopefully.

Now, when Fio was younger (pre covid), we artist types gathered in clumps under nice trees to show off our wares, but sadly, those days are gone, which means your girl has no way to advertise. Hmm....gotta figure how to get around that. Must add that Fiorella got the shots and was never sick....as far as she knows.

George, the black-and-mostly white cat in residence, is a joy, especially when he sneaks up on your girl's bed and licks her nose. Fio girl has read that means that George  considers Fiorella to be one of her family. (And yes, G is an inside cat). 

Bad news: Fiorella has broken half of one of her pares of glasses, but not the one she really sees with, thank God!!

Yesterday + Today

 YEAH! Son L worked on Fio's computer and FIXED IT--and for a whole hour, she read pages after pages of anti-Trump propaganda, just what she likes to see! How does the heck does Trump think he can get anywhere near the White House when he's in prison? Fiorella is excited about Kamala too! Of course, (England had a female leader long before we did, but we are a younger country. ๐Ÿ˜Š )

In the meantime, Fio has got to force herself to get some good paints and start looking for some interesting subjects....maybe in the front yard. Yes, she knows she's said that before, but sooner or later, she'1l secomb.

This is one of the days that your girl really misses her late husband.๐Ÿ˜ž

Where, oh where will she go? And how? She's half blind, can't drive, and has no friends in the area.

Oh, and she also wants a nice, big type dog, like a Mastiff or a Weimeraner.๐Ÿ’—

PROBLEM

 OK, Fio admits that she doesn't know what she's doing on her computer, but she's hoping Son L will be able to fix it. PRAY FOR FIORELLA!

In the mean time, your girl is sweating like a pig, just like you probably are.....



PAYBACK

 

 WHAH HOO! Hillary Clinton will get her well-deserved recognition at last!

Remember when Donald Trump used every nasty trick in the book to beat her by just a few points? (And your girl is sure those were fake too.)

      Well, now, Donald is going to get what he needs--a total wash-out under Kamala Harris, who, because, of what she knows about Donald from Hillary, will keep her armor on!
