"Finished making a world for the day?" she said, like a queen.
The volume went up in the room and the children, Shoshana, Brigham, Paul and Somy, had fun dancing around in a circle to music on the stereo. Mummy fled to the bedroom to hear the rest of the telephone conversation and reassure Daddy that dinner would indeed be ready when he arrived home that night. It was goulash, Daddy's favourite. A few minutes later, he came through the door, greeted by everyone warmly. The music went lower in volume and they all sat down gladly to eat supper after a prayer. After dinner, Oma Verwest came round and handed out candies for everyone from her all-inclusive handbag. Also Grandma Morris came by, who although during her life on earth carried a bottle of alcohol in her handbag was in Heaven a drinker of wine, but didn't carry it in her handbag. (Jesus drinks wine in Heaven.)
They had their lessons at the seaside for the rest of the week and then they came home and baked apple turnovers.
The End
