HOORAY !!!

i am "chortling in my joy" this morning for who is coming to see me this weekend but my dearest sister j-i-ll-o. she will be silly with me and we will laugh at ridiculous things that make the rest of the family look at us as if we were from some other planet or, at least, some other family. it will be fun to frolic about- perhaps watching charlie and the chocolate factory for the 4th time at some dollar theatre (by the by, if you have not seen this film, i highly recommend it. the children are not so convincing in their roles (except charlie who is just precious and delicious and i could eat him with a spoon); but the rest of the movie is smashing) . so the word of the day is "sister" because i am so happy to have mine.
