Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!
Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). – From History.com
In more contemporary terms it another reason to celebrate and have a good time. Food, drink and revelry will be the order of the day. Enjoy it my friends. Be safe though.
It was past time for another donation so today was the day. Giving blood saves 3 lives and so much more. I feel like a super hero when I donate blood here at Blood Assurance.
Joey and Cheryl on their wedding day. I am on the far right wearing a suit and tie. (Photo courtesy of the bride and groom)
Twenty five years ago my friends Joey and Cheryl got married and I was in their wedding. Joey asked me to be one of his best men and I was honored to do that. We were roommates at Hiwassee College. He was engaged to the love of his life Cheryl at the time so our cohabitation only lasted a semester. They got married in May of 1991 just after the school year ended. This was the only wedding in which I stood up for the groom. In 25 years they have come a long way in their lives together. Joey is a minister now and he and Cheryl have a large family that has made their lives interesting and better. Congrats to them both and their family on this important milestone.
Today is May the 4th also known as Star Wars Day. This is a high holy day in the geek/nerd community because of the reference to the force because it sounds like fourth. It also embraces the culture that is the Star Wars fandom. You will see graphics like these all over the web today. Enjoy the day fellow Star Wars fans.
