Cinco De Mayo!!!

"I'm having a party!" It was a fair warning that I issued on April 21st upon my return home from a work trip to California. Maybe it was the evenings I spent alone in my hotel room that gave seed to this idea....brilliant idea I might add. Lest you think I only came up with ONE idea during my three days away from home, let me clarify that I actually made a list. But a Cinco De Mayo party toppped the list and how can one throw a party when the backyard is only partially finished? So landscaping the backyard pushed the party idea to task #2 on the list. That gave us two weeks to prep the ground, dig trenches, lay the irrigation, plant trees, bushes, etc., add the rock (10 tons!!!), stake the trees, mow lawns, in other words, break our backs. But I'm not whining. It looks great! And we finished just in time for our Cinco De Mayo party where 26 adults and 37 kids gathered for festive food and fun!
