Most of all the other beautiful things in life
come by twos and threes,
by dozens and hundreds.
Plenty of roses, stars,
sunsets, rainbows,
brothers and sisters,
and aunts and cousins,
but only one Mother in the whole world.

Happy Mothers Day! I Love You!!!!!!XOXOXO………………..
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco De Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. The Holiday is a celebration of the Mexican Army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, which lasted from 1861-1867. Although Cinco De Mayo seems like a popular holiday in the US, Mexican Independence Day, on September 16, is a much bigger celebration.
In American Culture, Cinco De Mayo has become a holiday for everyone to enjoy festivals, fiestas, Latin food and lots of alcohol for the adult crowd.
Enjoy!

In ancient times, the heart was considered to be the source of all emotions, and so became a valentine symbol.
Centuries ago, if a lady wanted a man’s attention, she would drop her lace handkerchief. Thus, lace became linked with romance.
Children of old England sang door-to-door on Valentine’s Day and received candy, cookies, and money in return.
People in the Middle Ages drew names to see who their valentines would be, then pinned the names on their shirts. This inspired the phrase “to wear your heart on your sleeve”.
The red rose was said to be a favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
The oldest known valentines were sent in 1415 by the Duke of Orleans to his French wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
NEW YEAR, NEW TRADITION
In the U.S. traditional New Year’s Day meals vary by region, but no New Year’s meal is better known than the meal on the tables in the southern U.S. This dinner is made up of pork, to ensure prosperity and progress; a pig roots for food by pushing it’s nose forward,hence the superstition that eating pork on New Year’s Day will provide you with a year’s worth of progress. Cooked greens, symbolize money, and black-eyed peas are served for luck. However you like your food and drink on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Enjoy! And Good Luck to All. Have a Wonderful and Safe New Year’s Holiday! HAPPY 2024!!!!!
