Some events in life are studded with enchantment and wonder.
A birthday party for a niece of mine happened to be one of them.
She is beautiful both inside and out.
She's always fighting for the underdog, too, and does so much good for the world.
She wore a long, white dress with an elegant, many-layered "diamond" necklace and a flower crown in her hair.
The table------oh! the table-----stretched clear across the lawn of her bungalow and was set with china, crystal, and lighted candelabras!
Each guest's name was painted on small, flat rocks.
The birthday girl even hand-painted the guest cards at each place setting.
The food tasted fabulous and the wine flowed.
There was singing, poetry, and many wishes for happiness for the birthday girl.
Flames flickered in the tiki torches under the summer night sky.
It was a night, despite the wretchedness of the past several months, that will never be forgotten.
