### Re: Atomic, bread, and birthdays

Frankly, LaDale, I'm pretty sure Keryn was showing off. She does that sometimes.
And, darn it, I was going to use LaDale's birthday with Timp Cave as one of my favorite birthdays, and it wasn't even mine.
So I'll tell about another birthday--my twenty-third (I think...). It was my first year at grad school and Samuel's freshman year at BYU. When I walked into the grad cubes and to my desk it was covered with streamers, balloons, and a huge birthday sign with a cake with volcano candles. It was SO great--I'm not sure who did it. I think it was either Samuel or Emily, but I still don't know. Samuel and a friend stopped by the grad cubes and serenaded me with "Happy Birthday". And Emily brought sugar-free ice cream and sugar-free root beer for all the grad students so we could "toast" my birthday with root beer floats. And Samuel took me out to dinner at the CougarEat and then to a Jon Schmidt concert for my birthday. A very fabulous day, that's for sure!
Thanks for the bread recipe, Jenafer!
