Happy May!
Such a beautiful and fun filled month!
We watched the Kentucky Derby yesterday with friends
and are looking forward to Cinco de Mayo,
Mother’s Day, beach time and Memorial Day
We will also be celebrating 2 birthdays…
With so many diverse festivities on the horizon,
I couldn’t decide on a theme or flavor of the month
