Will you still need me,
Will you still feed me,
Now that I'm 64?

Good morning world, here I am happy to be awake on this beautiful summer day.
Naomi and Solomon are home from their month at Ramah Berkshires.
Tuesday is a work day for Stephanie but she will join us for dinner.
I try to make my birthday an adventure day, to do something different an activity that would be memorable.

This August 6th I chose to visit FDR at his home in Hyde Park New York.
We drove up the Palisades Parkway, across the Bear Mountain Bridge, and North on route 9.

Here are Naomi and Solomon on the back porch of FDR's home.
I like the color of the shutters, almost a turquoise but a bit too yellow.

Trees are a favorite subject / object to photograph.
They map the struggles of life, in a yearly manner, a collection of birthdays reaching toward the sky.

Dinner time!
We are in Westwood New Jersey, at a Chinese restaurant.
Naomi is wearing a flower from a tropical drink, and frames from broken sunglasses.

This is my birthday drink, I forgot his name but it was nice to meet him.

I ordered a whole fish cooked with hot chili peppers, head on, eyes open.
Solomon's impression of the dish is right on.

We are taking a post meal stroll in downtown Westwood.

Home for my favorite cake, California Fruit Tart from Rockland Bakery.
You might notice that the candles indicate a 24th birthday, not a 64th birthday.
Somebody forgot to get new ones so we used the candles for Stephanies 42nd on my cake.

Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to me!
