As I pointed out in my Seis de Mayo post last year, Cinco de Mayo. is not as important a date in our family as Seis de Mayo (the 6th of May). Many, many (!) years ago, my brother, John, was born on that date, and not nearly as many years ago, I met my wife, Kathy, on that auspicious date. Johnny and Jimmy (as we were then called) one Christmas in front of the tree.

A day of celebration for our family, the 6th of May. Happy Birthday, my brother. Happy Anniversary of our Meeting, my wife!

I love all the family photos you have, Jim! What cherished possessions. And the picture of Kathy, lovely! What a great way to celebrate shabbat on the sixth of May!
So ... was it Uncle Johnny's birthday that you were out celebrating when you and Mom met ??
No, Bon we were in Columbus and John was a high school student in Ashland. It was just another Tuesday night on the town, until it became the night that changed us forever!
And there are at least FOUR of us who are so glad it did ! Except I know the number is far larger than four ...
