Made up words

My brother Jon just got married -that dweam wiffin a dweam - to a girl named Sarah and at last our family is complete with all of us Heppner kids wedded up and off. She is beautiful - her face and her spirit. I met her a couple of days before the day and liked her promptly. Besides (trivia alert) anyone who shares my birthday must rock! (only she's, um somewhere around 10 years younger than I - gak.) It was a great day and there were many long unseen friends milling about sharing good jokes and stories of old times and silly times and times of yore.

This morning was bliss. I awoke to birds and sweet open window air and the sound of my friend Shari sing-songing over her baby. I didn't want to move, so content was I under the sheets with the light trying to pry open my eyelids. Upon padding down the stairs I was soonly greeted with a breakfast of scones, fresh fruit salad and coffee. It was a Martha moment and we laughed because we know life isn't usually like that.

Today was the first day that felt like a holiday.
