I know Cinco de Mayo is not a real Mexican celebration, although is does commemorate one battle’s victory, having grown up in California it was always noted. It was time for an afternoon snack (that actually was filling enough for […]

When I woke up this morning and looked at the clock it was 4:44. Somebody once told me that if you look at the clock and all the numbers are the same that your guardian angel is watching over you. It just feels good to be watched over. After morning coffee and some reading, it […]
