How to celebrate an acceptance letter


Colores del Sol 
(the name of our wine, but also my name for these roses)

My sister came home with her arms full of flowers, and she brought, too, a Malbec from Argentina with hints of cherry, a loaf of fresh bread, and a local cheese. She made a delectable ganache-filled dessert and the soon-to-be brother-in-law suggested an Argentine film he's been wanting to show us (El Hijo de la novia). We were merry while the evening grew long. I felt very loved and very happy.

Do we get to celebrate every acceptance letter? they ask.

(I say, Why not?)
