What a day!

For many things that many want to celebrate and ogle at, and one that gives us time to pause. Welcome to Cinco de Mayo, the 138th running for the roses AKA the Kentucky Derby and a moon so big that scientists find worthy of a mention! All together this all is something to cheer about! I have looked up a few sites for you to access for the kiddies to enjoy about these particular subjects/topics and if you copy and paste my selections I am more than sure you all will have much to discuss while your own personal enjoyment takes place… http://www.mexonline.com/cinco-de-mayo.htm, http://www.history.com/topics/cinco-de-mayo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Derby, http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-run-roses-kentucky-derby-moniker-history-fans-114700964--rah.html, http://earthsky.org/tonight/is-biggest-and-closest-full-moon-on-may-5-2012-a-supermoon http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/05/120503-supermoon-saturday-closest-earth-tides-disasters-space-science/?source=hp_dl1_news_supermoon20120505 Now those should keep the kiddies busy while you imbibe on those Margaritas and Mint Juleps, kidding of course, no drinking until they go away to college and before they boomerang home! We all know they imitate what they see, or don’t…ours did the opposite. We didn’t drink but we smoked and they never ever smoked but they drank, go figure? Any-who, now we drink and don’t smoke, go figure…or not! Gosh we had it tough this evening trying to decide which occasion to celebrate, but… I chose to shred our last night’s dinner and add some low sodium taco seasoning, and yes there is such a thing, and use up some of our soft tacos to make us a makeshift Cinco de Mayo fiesta with our own trimmings… Hubby and I both had forgotten to purchase the customary beverage of Margaritas and so there is where he has gone at this moment. See, we make our own fun, Ta da! Moving on… The last part of my opening sentence is again asking you to all wish you to prayer for Mom Clara… Here it is, via an email, in ole chums words verbatim, “Saturday, May 5, 2012 4:15 PM Hi, Yesterday Mom had a permanent pacemaker put in because her heart rate wouldn't get up over about 35. Today she appeared to have had a small stroke, not being able to come up with the words she wanted to say, and getting things all confused. They took her down for a CT scan that didn't show any damage, and they think it was from getting into a sitting position too soon, with not enough blood going to her brain. When she was put back into the bed flat she seemed fine. They are checking her constantly. ttysoon,” And so we wait… On those words of pausing let us all remember what is truly important in any celebration the people that we care about… Now allow me to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you all kindly count your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
