Congratulations to the both of you. I hope this was your extended-time weekend with your hubby so you could celebrate the 34th wedding anniversary, Joanne. If not, make sure to celebrate it real soon.
i had to look that one up!
“Cinco de Mayo in Latin America, or Spanish for “Fifth of May” is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.
In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. More popularly celebrated in the United States than Mexico, the date has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. In Mexico, the commemoration of the battle continues to be mostly ceremonial, such as through military parades or battle reenactments.
Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken in the United States for Mexico’s Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16, commemorating the Cry of Dolores that initiated the war of Mexican independence from Spain.”
i’m learning!?TY TC
Sounds like you’re learning more than most US residents know. (A certain resident in a house which is white celebrated it last year with a sales pitch for the Taco bowls served at his hotels.)
I’m always grateful that you make such a celebration on my wedding anniversary
[34 years today] Happy day back at you. Having chili perhaps?
Is it me, or does that have a Christmasy vibe to it?
The stained glass? Yes.
It didn’t to me, but that may be just me. I think of Christmas as being more cuddly – or at least more cozy.
Happy Anniversary. We hit 34 years i September.

Anytime someone say’s they are learning here, I feel glad I do this.
And you should. You are indeed providing a service.
TYVM!
Maybe a tad blacker than my critter – but otherwise a spitting image! (Well, minus the mustache)
We had Mexican food tonight, burritos from “Cinco de Moe’s.”
Thank you, TomCat. The fifth of May is Liberation Day in The Netherlands and my fathers date of birth, so a special day for me too.
Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate it.
Happy Birthday to him.
And Happy Liberation Day – well, I hope it WAS happy!
Thanks all. Hugs.
