I remember when we didn't need the fire dept just to have birthday cake

Gale isn't like me in that his birthday is not a big deal to him. However we do celebrate it in some form. This year Minon, Mason, and Matthew came over for birthday cake in between meetings and appointments. It took three packages of candles to get to 67. It took three of us lighting candles as fast as we could to get them all going before the first ones were melted to nothing. This year he chose chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and he loved every bite. The little square without frosting was for Matthew who doesn't like cream cheese frosting. What gifts did he get? Well, I'd have to look at my visa bill to see what he bought himself starting in January. He is smart that way. He doesn't just wait and hope for his desired gift he just buys it himself and he always gets what he wants
