The ceremonial start (for me) to ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ด, the Birkie Week, is marked by the reading of ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐จ - that my friend, Christine, borrowed me back in 2016. Itโs a quick, easy, charming and lovely read for children of all ages (or adults who refuse to grow up). Reading it hasn't gotten old and I'm sure it never will!โฃ โฃ The Birkie has transformed from โฆ a topic of Keweenaw Contingentโs seemingly endless discussions every October through March to โฆ a mythical town that I failed to find in 2014 (not making this up) to โฆ a once in a year event with its own mathematics to โฆ a week-long family union-isque festival to โฆ a year-round training program to โฆ a lifestyle. The whole process has been bringing in fantastic people, experiences and opportunities into my life.โฃ โฃ May it be all that and more to you and yours too!โฃ โฃ #BirkieFever #Birkie2023 #Birkie49 (at Houghton, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4nwQ9O3pRddnyqc8NOaIURYlzcRnwQBufFuc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
