Day 1 of May

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!!!  My favorite holiday of the year.

As you can see from the picture, this year's celebration was a little low keyed in comparison to most years.  But that is actually because we didn't end up with our 8th annual B and B Cinco de Mayo celebration - yet.  That is happening next weekend, in Banff!!!We have tickets to the Cirque show Friday night, and Saturday night, the party is happening at the Banff Springs Hotel!!!  Bill and I did sit down for a little "tequila" to make sure we didn't let the day go by without some acknowledgement.

This is a picture from the 2012 B & B celebration.  I'm not sure if that is before of after the tequila.

And of course, I have already received my Cinco de Mayo gift this year.  I only showed half the car, because the other half of the car was part of my anniversary gift!!!!! 

  Had a busy weekend.  I worked on Saturday.  We took the "work kids" to Heritage Park to see Thomas the Train.  You forget how much work taking kids on a field trip (and we had three of them), but then we had a small army of adults with us as well, and you want everyone to get something out of the trip and be enjoyable for all.  Too much thinking!!!!
  Sunday morning, I did some training for the"Kidney March" that I am participating in come September.  My training mate Jean, and I did a 9.1 km walk around the area.  It was a beautiful day to be out walking, and we made great time.  Thanks to everyone for all your support and encouragement in this "endeavor" I have taken up. 
  After I got home and changed, Bill and I took Mercedes out for a drive.   We officially initiated her today.  We took the top down, and went through the drive through of  Peter's Drive-In.  Then we took our lunch and headed over to "Crescent Heights Hill" (the old make-out hill) and sat on a bench with our lunch.  I did have to "scold" Bill for breaking a couple of Mercedes rules:  Firstly, we don't wear socks in sandals when we ride in my car. (and yes they were white socks)  and Second, no more Rolling Stones, live in concert, on the CD player.  I'm pretty sure the CD was recorded recently, and really, I understand they are all talented gentleman, and legends, but there is a time and place for hanging up the VOICE.  Just wait until I get my Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake or anything country in that player. 
  After lunch we headed over to my nieces to drop of Caylee's birthday gift.  I had hope to make the birthday party, but Bill had us make an unannounced pit stop (house search for the daughter) 
  It's dinner time, and the son is heading to the gym, Bill is golfing, the daughter is working a horse show, and Maya and I are enjoying the peace and quiet!!!! 
   I am so ready to take on Monday!
