Happy Birthday, Kirsten Rae (Huizenga) Caminiti! Kirsten is my second-oldest niece and third "nibling." She is a violinist with the Fairmount Strings. She and her husband Joseph live near Philadelphia, not far from her mother (my elder sibling) Gloria Rae (Kleppinger) Huizenga. She chose this "solar bursts" tie for me to wear today, "not only in honor of solar panels all over the world, but because I’ve always thought the sun was God’s greatest invention."
