Birthdays

I have been blessed with many interesting and memorable birthdays. There have been at least 5 birthdays on backpacking trips. The first back country birthday I remember was near Bench Lake in Kings Canyon N.P. about 1966. Jack brought in lots of goodies for us to eat. There were at least 2 up the Deer Cove Trail in Kings Canyon with Jan, Hannah, Jens, and again Jack. There were 2 in Big Whitney Meadow just south of Mount Whitney. There was one in Voss, Norway with a newly met cousin on my Moms side of the family. There was even one in Buffalo. Now here is another memorable birthday on Tern Island in the mid Pacific. Monica baked this cake for our 4th of July barbecue and before the cake was cut one candle was placed and lit, and they all sang for me.
