because saying feliz veintitres de Mayo takes too much energy.

Happy 23rd of May!

With the Covid19 crisis, it has been a couple of months since we visited with other human beings.

LB and I missed out on Easter Sunday church and festivities, the annual Kentucky Derby party and even Cinco de Mayo.

Last week when LB and I met at Olive Garden with friends to celebrate Laurie’s birthday

we all decided that we would have to get together for that missed annual Cinco de Mayo party.

The party happened on Saturday

~

Ray brought his homemade rubber-band gun

and no, Boo did NOT get shot.

We tried to follow CDC guidelines while catching up.

LB lit the torches and we sat out by the pool and talked into the night.

And we ATE a lot!

Steak fajitas and toppings, re-fried beans, queso dip, chips with salsa, and…

Prepare and bake white cake mix according to package directions for a 9 x 13 pan.
Remove cake from oven and, using a fork, poke holes all over the top of cake.
Open can of Cream of Coconut (making sure to stir it first) and pour over warm cake.
Let cake cool completely then ‘frost’ with COOL WHIP topping.
Top with flaked coconut (I did not use the whole package).

It was delicious, if I do say so myself!

Thank you Laurie for documenting this event with photos!

And thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
