I've had another birthday
and this time my family
remembered, Maybe you recall
that last year when my annual
marker rolled round, not one
Single member of my family
thought of it, You may also
remember that I was com-
pletely crushed and said so
in my column so solefully that
had letters from readers who
urged me to cheer up and look
to brighter days ahead.
One dear reader advised me
to be tireless this year in remin-
ding my family about my birth-
day up to and including the big
day, I'd always been somewhat
reluctant to do that, but this
time I threw caution to the
winds and played hard on the
fact that I'd been forgotten last
year and hoped for better
things this year.
The celebration for my Birth-
day started early in the day
with a resounding rush on my
bedroom and my bed. Family
members crowded in to be the
very first to wish me best
wishes, I was smothered with
kisses and hugs ..., and I even
had an offer of breakfast in
bed!
Our youngest son, though in
on the bedroom scene, did not
really tell me an actual "Happy
Birthday".
"Didn't you forget
something?" I asked him,
quietly.
"No," he answered.
"Well, aren't you going to
wish me Happy Birthday?" I
pressed.
"Yes," answered my littlest
son, "but not yet."
"Oh" I said, a little baffled.
I guess my son has a flair for
the dramatic because as he
made his exit for school, he
gave me his farewell morning
kiss and said," "Have a Happy
Birthday today mom, I got you
something, but it isn't very
good,"
Big tears welled up in his
eyes. "It starts with 'c'", he
said.
"Oh you bought me candy," I
said, trying to sound pleased
and proud though my thoughts
quickly centred around the
bathroom scales which tell such
an ugly story.
"No, it isn't candy," he said.

The Explorer Group meeting
in the Church last Wednesday
evening was opened by the
president, Brenda Dowson with
the Explorer Purpose and
Motto followed by a hymn.'The

fering was taken up by Sandra
Taylor,
The treasurer report was

Study period was led by Mrs.

The .April meeting of the
Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal
Canadian Legion was held on
March 12th with president Mrs.
Hector Kingswell, presiding.
The interesting but brief
meeting was well attended.
The yearly donation will
again be made to the Muscular
Dystrophy Fund and the
Auxiliary is looking after the
Hospital cart for the month of
March. A banquet is to be held
on March 30 and help will be
needed for that evening. A card
"Well, I'm not going to guess
any more," I told him.
"There's so many things I love
that begin with 'c' rather
wait until you give it to me,"
That evening when I arrived
home, I was met on the porch
by a very excited little boy,
"Don't go in the kitchen
door," warned my son, "You'll
have to go in the front door and
stay in the livingroomi until
dinner's ready,"
He was jumping up and
down with anticipation by this
time. He just couldn't keep the
whole secret any longer.
"We're going to have a.
party," he whispered in my ear,
He was right, too, My
daughter had managed a
delicious roast beef dinner com-
plete with brussels sprouts and
coleslaw and green peas. And
to top it all off was a birthday
cake made by her own loving
hands topped with enough can-
dles to tell the awful truth of
my age.
And the gifts! It was like
Christmas, only better because
it was especially for me.
Master of ceremonies was my
youngest son. He handed me
the gifts, the first one a large,
large box reading 'blender' on
the side.
"That doesn't start with `c"1
told him.
"It is inside," he said,
helping me to rip open the box.
"See it is a card but everybody
signed it. And now the gift in
the box is from everybody, even
me."
His little eyes danced with
happiness and I felt like crying.
Oh there were other gifts, gifts I
appreciated and truly treasure.
But that gift that started with
'c' was really what turned me
on this birthday and I knew
that if I lived to be 200 years
old, nothing could ever be bet-
ter,
Funny thing about gifts. The
person giving them always gets
the most out of it „.. unless the
person receiving them knows
that the person doing the giving
is really sincere about the gift
and has given it with love for
you and you alone.
It was a happy birthday for
me. The best one yet, in fact.
And to think I'm only 29!!
