Yesterday was Ken's birthday. He turned 79, which is excellent when you consider that when we married he had a life expectancy of 42. Ken does not like to have a fuss made on his birthday so his day yesterday met with his approval. The day was pleasant and low keyed.
We four went to celebrate his birthday at the Seascape, which Ken says has the best fish and chips in the world. Our lunch was delicious. We all ordered fish and chips which for Ken and I were the first of our summer in Nova Scotia. Tradition says we always eat fish and chips at least once each season, and yesterday was the day. We drove to the restaurant along the shore, always a treat.
The rest of the afternoon was spent sitting around the house, where Ken opened his birthday cards, delivered by friends. And Wendy and Clausen brought over flowers from their garden, which now grace our dining table.
Ken's birthday supper was dining on smoked salmon. Ken and I along with Rita and Ian sat around the kitchen table eating smocked salmon with creamed cheese and capers on crackers. These chunks of salmon are not available other than Nova Scotia so it was a treat for all of us to enjoy our Nova Scotia food on this special birthday. We were delighted to celebrate together with Ken on his 79th birthday.
