Shortest Day is Happy Birthday Day

Happy Birthday

Dave Yonkers

Let's not worry about Winter Solstice, the shortest day & often darkest of the year. Let's celebrate Dave Yonkers' birthday instead. I am sure that Betty & Milton Yonkers were not even thinking about December 21st being the shortest of the year when their first child was born __ years ago in Fairport, New York.

After celebrating many of Dave's birthdays with him I can verify that his still the 'Light' of my life. No birthday cake for Dave. His request since childhood is pumpkin pie. (I will post my recipe later.)

Happy Birthday to Dave. I think pumpkin pie is a great birthday treat. Mine for years was a hazelnut torte, laboriously made by my brother this busy time of year (12/22 for me!)
