Cinco de mayo recap including my May finish

It was totally unplanned when we stopped in at chili's for lunch that I'd order something suitable for a "cinco de mayo meal."

Oh yeah, and I finished the "1-4-3, I love you" shawl.

Chicken bacon ranch quesadillas for the entree

After chips and salsa (required appetizer)

The prayer shawl is finished! 

At the top there is one stripe of each color. That is the "I"

Then four stripes of each color. That is the "love" part

Finally, three strips = "you"

Notice the number of letters match the number of stripes.

The turquoise border are X's with a space or O in between.

So an I love you shawl with a hug and kiss surrounding.

Surely someone will feel that love!

Hoping you have a hug filled day!

P.s. Between preparing this and posted, a friend of mine requested this shawl for a cousin with cancer.
He's a diver and with the water colors, it seems a perfect fit!  Ah, the mysterious ways He works!
