How I spent my birthday

Yes, today, July 26, 2015. 57 again (always subtract seven years).

At the top of North Mt. Beacon, picture by hiking buddy Jeanne Marie. Yes, it was hot and yes that’s sweat.

We went across to South Mt. Beacon and Brigid and Jeanne Marie went up the fire tower. But then things got messy. Going south from there, we (I) made two small errors, leading to our taking the wrong path – etc, – etc, and having to be rescued by our friend Karen Riner, who lucky for us only lives ten minutes from where we were.

Here’s a picture taken by Mike, as I blow out my birthday candle –

And a fast, lucky selfie with Brigid and moi.

More to follow on our hike.

    Looks like you had a good birthday. I wish you many happy,fun ones to come. Gee you are only a few years older than my Annie. Pretty soon you will catch up to my grand-daughter Heather.
    Love, peace & joy, Ellen M.
