February brought my 57th birthday on the 19th and Shannon's 14th on the 27th. I expected my birthday to pass quietly without fanfare. Much to my surprise Hilda, our able creche manager, arrived on my doorstep at 8 a.m. with her family and two lovely bouquets of flowers. At 9 a.m. she returned with several creche teachers and gifts of a sari and a salwar kameez and an invitation to her home for supper. Later that morning a friend dropped by for coffee and a motorcycle ride around the lake. All in all it was a wonderful day.
Shannon was treated to a buffet dinner at a local hotel and several new manga books on her special day. She is planning a sleepover with several dormmates in the near future to continue the celebration.
