A Whole week of Holidays?

Warm weather, Melting snow, Willows blooming. Do you need another reason to party? With a week like this one, I think Karin and I could come up with a reason to party every day. Not that we really need a reason to party every day, but just so it stays official! We started the week with May the Fourth (be with you). If you are not a Star Wars fan, sorry if you don't understand some of these holidays. But I being a Star Wars fan could not go through May 4th with OUT throwing a pun. To go along with our Star Wars theme holidays we had Revenge of the Sixth on May 6th. But in between those unofficial holidays we had May 5th. Cinco de Mayo!

If you are not Mexican, you probably don't know what this holiday is all about, but know it is just another day on the calender. Living in Texas for a few years, we learned a little bit about Cinco de Mayo.  It commemorates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Sounds like a good reason to celebrate! Seeing that we are NOT Mexican, and Keith is full blooded Puerto Rican, it is usually one of those days on the calender that just go by. But because we have some fun and inventive neighbors, we decided to have our own Cinco de Mayo, Puerto Rican Style! As I said before, we are always up for a party! So Keith made some traditional rice and beans with some delicious Pincos(Puerto Rican  Kebabs). We had Corn bread salsa music and of course Mexican decorations! We ate outside even though it was a bit cold, but the sun was wonderful. Again I say this, I am so thankful for neighbors that are crazy like us and up for a good time EVERY DAY!!!
