May Day Friday

Starr loves May Day. She has been talking about it for weeks….she always has. “I love May Day!” she says, although I can’t ever remember anything special or fun happening on May Day. One year when she was 6 or 7 we did May Day baskets for a few of our neighbors, but since then, nothing.

She still loves May Day. She talks about sharing May Day with her future kids. I think, maybe, that it is a sign that schools almost out, that summer is coming. Plus the fact that May is her birthday month. She will be 20 this year! Gah, I need a drink…I will no longer the parent of a teenager!! Where has the time gone?!

Happy May Day! I hope it was lovely!

For Virtual Girls Night Out, Ann asks: For a potluck, have you been the one that brought the dish that nobody ate?

Yes, and recently. Though not for a sit down dinner. I made a shrimp dip appetizer for Grampa Bill’s memorial gathering. It was virtually untouched. I have made this dish before and it disappears, people talk about it (positively!)…so I was a little surprised. I took some comfort in the fact that there was a whole lot of food and where my dish landed on the table, it wasn’t really clear what it was and what you were supposed to do with it. Crackers were near, but they were not clearly connected.

Go visit Ann and join party: Virtual Girls Night Out!

Have a wonderful night!!
