Many years ago in California I heard about Cinco de Mayo  

I don't have a lot of memories, but I loved going to the church picnics and also picnics at my former pastor's house.. we had a wonderful time and the yard was big enough that many many people could come.. we had a great time then.. I wish I lived closer now so I could still go. I miss them a lot.

Hi raydene! This just happened two months ago, one day before my birthday. My brother was able to get his kids for that day and they first came to my home and we went out for dinner and brought them to the arcade. It was fun and I did love being with my nieces and nephew once again since we just got to see them once last Christmas. My nieces and nephew are my happiness. That is the last time I saw them since their mother who is estranged from my brother is doing all her can so we won't be able to see the children. I will never forget my last day with them and I am hoping it won't be the last one. But in the meantime that beautiful memory I have with them will give me the strength and courage until the day I could be with them once again. This is my beautiful memory I will keep in my heart and at the same time a painful one. Just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day!

No doubt they are having Cinco de Mayo today here in town, and probably some of my neighbors, but since I'm not particularly friendly with my neighbors I'm just hoping the rain/wet keep them from setting off fireworks.

that is an awfully big topic, a person could go anywhere with it. I wrote all my memories in my first book, what can I say here, first of all I don't know any mexican people, there are not that many in montreal.

one of my favourite memories is going to the synagogue for the first time, my boyfriend is jewish he took me to hear the cantor, she had a voice of an angel, and she sang in hebrew. I loved seeing the old scrolls, the actually parade down the isles with them and you can tough it, or kiss it. I loved the service so much.

thank you for best response, I have an entire article that I wrote concerning my experience in the synagogue for the first time.
