Happy Cinco de Mayo !

A couple of weeks ago I went in for a routine teeth cleaning which unfortunately revealed major problems. Apparently most of my crowns have some decay or damage around the edges. I am a terrible patient who cannot handle dental work without Nitrous Oxide; the dentist who cleaned my teeth doesn't use Nitrous, so today I went to see a different dentist to prioritize the work. Thursday he will take care of the worst one; I can hardly bear to think about it.

But it's Cinco de Mayo today - a good excuse/time for another get-together! Randy put together all the goodies for shredded beef tacos, shredded chicken tacos and refried beans, and other folks brought guacamole, chips, rice and salad. We all enjoyed a leisurely dinner outside under our awning; then, as the night got cooler, Randy started a fire for us. All of grownups stood or sat around the fire talking, but Lee, 7 years old and kind of bored, was thrilled to finally find something interesting do to. He fed the fire bits and pieces until he ran out of wood scrapes, then sat really close to enjoy his handiwork. It's tough being the only kid in a group; next time we should get marshmallows!
