June 10th! Today is my birthday!
I like to celebrate my birthday, with a nice meal, run on the beach and of course cake.
What I miss most on my birthday are the people who made me feel special on this day growing up.
Most of them are gone, but I guess that is the fate of growing older. My parents always made a fuss and surprised me with a party or an outing.
Because my birthday is in June, it always started the summer season, which is my favorite time of the year. June signaled the end of the school year, and all the things that I liked most: sun, beach, vacation and adventure.....All things are possible in the endless summer. Or so it seemed as a child.

My sister Cheryl, and her husband came up from Massachusetts for a visit. We meandered on the Marginal Way, and lunched at the Lobster Shack in Perkins Cove. The Lobster Shack is great little restaurant; it's at the end of the busy cove and it was originally a lobsterman's shack. The Lobster Shack offers gluten free home made clam chowder. Owner/operator Jason Evans stated that it is a family recipe, and he does not use any flour or soup bases to make this fine chowder. The chowder was accompanied with fresh lobster meat on a lettuce with tomato-perfect for lunch by the sea!
Our neighbor Tobias hosted a cookout and grilled some summer time fare. The evening ended with Michael's famous Gluten Free Cheesecake!
The end of a perfect day, and hopefully more birthdays to come.....
We love the Lobster Shack too. I miss the days when my Mom and Jason's dad John would chat about the old days in the cove. Mom had spent her summers there from 1941 on...falling in the harbor and other kid chaos while her family ran the gift shop. Now that most of the family is gone, i wish i had listened to her stories more attentively....happy belated birthday!
