05/05/2026 - Cinco de Mayo

I have to think about what
Cinco de Mayo means to
me . . .

'Twas the birth of my mom,
without whom I would not
exist.

Added to that . . . the birth
of my daughter in her name.

Obviously, after 20 years in
Mexico, I properly recall the
historical meaning of Cinco
de Mayo.

Having said that . . . 'twill
ever and always be the births
of my mother and daughter
that mean the most to me . . .

Know this;  I'll be celebrating
with boots on . . . make no
mistake!!!

Cinco de Mayo is the annual
celebration held on May 5 to
celebrate Mexico's victory 
over the Second French Empire
at the Battle of Puebla in 1862,
led by General Ignacio Zaragoza.
