On a lighter note

Today is my birthday and it has been lovely all day from salmon with friends for lunch, Oprah's Faulkner books, bars of Swiss chocolate hidden under my pillow and in my purse, an exquisite fairy from my sister, calls from well wishers and a new toaster. And, near midnight, the arrival of our oldest son, his wife and our perfect and only granddaughter who turns two next week. A delightful celebration on an evening that blesses us with open windows and a cool summer breeze.
