We help to make our children grow with strength, dignity and a sense of common sense and respect for others... I can't think of a more important job in our life time! I celebrate all the mothers who are our guiding light.

 

May is named after a Greek goddess Maia. May is a month for great celebration when crops begin to sprout and flowers begin to bloom..

 

 

May 28, which happens to be my birthday, in 1908 was when Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books was born.

 

Other celebrations in May...

 

Memorial Day, which is the last Monday in May, is a holiday in memory of those who died while serving our country in war. It was first observed in 1866, dedicated to these great men who don't get enough praise and thanks. They have allowed us to live the life of dignity and freedom. I thank the special men who traveled with us to Normandy, and showed my family the true meaning of courage and honor and loyalty. You are truly my heroes.

 

Cino De Mayo... which is the anniversary of the Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862.

 

And May is National BBQ Month, so celebrate with Gayle's!!!
