Cinco de Mayo

Please join me in wishing my dear friend Halle a very happy birthday. I hope it's the best ever, dear Halle.

Today is also Cinco de Mayo. Click on the Cinco de Mayo link to see a short (less than 2 minute) video from the History Channel that explains it better and far more cleverly than I ever could.

Bleubeard and I wish you a very happy May 5 (aka Cinco de Mayo), and we wish our dear friend Halle a very happy birthday.

My name is Erika. said...: Happy cinco de mayo to you. I hope you get some yummy Mexican food like those stuffed jalapenos you have ordered before. And I will need to stop by Halle's blog to wish her happy birthday. Hope you aren't too sore today. I am a bit, but not terrible but am mostly tired and don't want to do anything much at all. Of course the grey skies aren't helping. Have a wonderful day and maybe you'll get a snatch of sun. Hugs-Erika; 9:55 AM, May 05, 2019
