It’s Nancy’s birthday today. For all the years I known Nancy, she had had to work in her Ft Long Hot Dog at the Minnesota State Fair on her birthday. We retired after last year’s State Fair and this birthday we went to Nancy Lake at Maplewood State Park. We sat by the lake and listened to the quiet. We heard some bees buzzing while sucking sweet nectar from wild flowers. We heard frogs jumping from logs into the lake. We heard fish slap the water perhaps after just eating a frog! It was a fun afternoon for us. It was a quiet afternoon. We haven’t experienced this on her birthday in our lives together. Happy Birthday, Nancy!
