It was fun seeing friends at Los Arcos Mexican Restaurant yesterday and being serenaded by Sol De Mi Tierra Mariachi group. There were seven of us; a school teacher, a nun, a worker who takes care of small animals, a Children's Museum employee, a mother of a politician, a man who had just returned from Mesa Verde, Pagosa Springs, etc., and me. Some drank Margaritas, two drank wine, one had a beer and I had my favorite of water with lemon.Three had other appointments and left our gathering after eating. The rest of us stayed to enjoy the music! Two of us were celebrating our May birthdays. We enjoyed the good food, the fun companionship and the great music. Three of us had worked together at one time and we spent time catching up on what we have been doing since we last saw each other.
The mariachi in their navy outfits embroidered with yellow and white flowers is one of the best groups I have heard. They play requests but did not know my request of Los Aretes Que Le Faltan A La Luna. (The earrings missing from the moon.) The group played plenty of other tunes plus Las Mananitas, the Spanish happy birthday song and then in English the old standby of Happy Birthday To You.
It was a fun evening and as we parted ways we said we would get together again soon. I certainly hope it isn't a whole year before we see each other again because by then we will all be a whole year older!

and celebrate life,
the more there is in
life to celebrate."
