Happiness is…

Celebrating another birthday for the one you love, including:

• Giving a well-chosen gift or two (or more).
• Fresh, locally-grown mango, cantaloupe, and strawberries in a lovely birthday fruit salad.
• Chinese take-out by request.
• Guinness chocolate cake, courtesy of Nigella Lawson.
• Hearing the kids sing “Happy Birthday,” quavering and off-key, even if it was one too many times.
