37 Days Before We Head to Wisconsin

As we gradually settle into our new home, it becomes a challenge to find places for all the things that we unpack each day. Some of this is going to have to go...to Wisconsin, some it is just going to have to go. Since my goal is to unpack at least two boxes a day, decisions must be made.

I still haven't found the time to take advantage of the amenities provided by our new community. It's becoming more and more apparent that I may have to wait until I get back here in October before I can "have fun" at the activity center. I plan to have plenty of fun here and in Wisconsin between now and October.

Oh...I almost forgot. Today is Cinco de Mayo. This is a Mexican holiday that for some odd reason people here in the United States celebrate. Actually, I think it's just because Americans like to have any excuse to drink and have a party. Anyway, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! This holiday celebrates a decisive battle where the French lost. Margaritas all round! I think we should all go down to Mexico this year to celebrate Independence Day. That's July 4th.

Today's Little Bit of Trivia

The Mayans of Central America worshiped the Jaguar Sun that rose each day in the east and journeyed west. After the sun set, the cat god would have to fight the lords of the underworld all night. But he would win the battle and rise again in the morning. Warriors wore jaguar skins to help them in battle; shamans were said to be able to shape-shift into big cats.
