Ted's Birthday Month

If you’ve been reading long, you know that Ted and I celebrate the whole month, not just the day, for our birthdays.  June is Ted’s month and I always think he gets less birthday than I do.  For one thing, June only has 30 days, while December (my birthday month) has 31 days. 

The job he has in Japan takes a lot of his time in June.  The summer is short in Hokkaido, so outdoor students have to pack a lot of camping, climbing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, etc. into a short amount of time, which means every weekend and some of the weekdays. This week he is away at an outdoor educators conference, followed by a two day hike up to the highest onsen in Japan.  I saw him and one of his students off to the airport by bus.

 

We have had a few birthday meals together.  We ate at Ren Ren Ren Chinese Restaurant last week.

 

Happy Birthday, Ted!
