a memorable date

Today is celebrated by many as Star Wars Day. May the 4th (the force) be with you.  But it is also, and much more importantly, my youngest granddaughter's birthday.  She was 15 today and we went to a favorite local Mexican restaurant to celebrate.  The food was good and we had a cheerful family together time but we forgot that May 4 is the day before May 5 - Cinco de Mayo.  Actually, we knew that, but didn't take into account the fact that since Cinco de Mayo is on Sunday this year, people would think it was a really good idea to celebrate on Saturday night instead.  And celebrate they did, loudly and with much music and an MC who asked lots of Mexican / French war trivia questions.  Ah well, not being able to hear each other talk gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meals.
