"… Oh. Cinco de Mayo. It's nearly the fifth of May. Big family deal—you remember, you've come before."
"Biggest blast-out party of the year."

The
Mexican and American Flags flew their proud colors as Emma’s Mexican
mother and Yankee father combined cultures to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
Every
year the expansive grounds offered games, from lawn bowling and
badminton to moon bounces and waterslides. Friends, relatives, and
neighbors played and competed while others crowded at picnic tables,
diving into platters of pork and chicken, warm tortillas, bowls of red
beans or chilis, guacamole or salsa hot enough to scorch the throat.
There were gallons of lemonade, Negra Modelo, Corona, tequila, and frosty margaritas to put out the fire.
Whenever
he’d managed to drop by on the fifth of May, Jack had always been
amazed at the number of people the Grants managed to feed. And the
choices of fajitas and burgers, black beans and rice or potato salad. Flan or apple pie.
He supposed the food was just a symbol of how completely Phillip and Lucia blended.
