We're sharing highlights today from Islandshire's first ever MAY 4th STAR WARS CELEBRATION! As you know, Silver & I are just crazy about Star Wars. Okay, right. So, maybe we do tend to focus on one character more than the others, but he is SO CUTE! And he is part of the Star Wars line-up. But Cara Dune is great, too. And don't forget IG-11, one of the coolest droids ever seen on the screen. Hey, I've got it! Sabine! I love Sabine. And she's from the Star Wars Rebels series. And there's Han Solo. And the Bantha. Oops. (Can't help myself. Back to the Mandalorian series again.) While we're on the subject, let's not forget Mando!
The idea for this Island holiday was less than sheer inspiration. (More like forced activity.) A nice winter sparkle day, a cup of hot chocolate, Blu-ray remote in hand, and . . . not an empty seat to be had. We both looked around the room and shouted (at the same time, of course), "What are going to do with all this BABY stuff?!" The answer jumped right off the poster on the ceiling: MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU! Eureka! A Star Wars Day screening of our two favorite Mandalorian episodes (Episode 4 from each of the two seasons) with a concession stand and gift shop in the lobby.
Two good things happened right away. We put all the "warehouse stock" in bins and recovered seating space, and Silver took over the shopping runs again. This time, however, she was free to bring home anything she found. In quantity. And I kept the dishes washed and food on the table. Ah, back to normal . . . ain't life grand?
