As many of you know, I have cousins (cuzzins) living all across the US, and a few over the pond in Merry Olde England. Two of my favorites live on a "Farm" in Kentucky, just east of Winchester. They live atop a hill with a beautiful view of sunrise over the Blue Ridge and they share their 60+ acres with 1 horse, multiple cows, calves, and bulls, 2 dogs, and 2 cats (oh! and a mouse from time to time).
Every year they host a party to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. This is a party done right--with color-coordinated tableware, great food, and the companionship of wonderful family and friends. I have long wanted to attend but in past years work obligations kept me away. This year, being happily unemployed, I was able to go along with my good friend Bonnie and our very spoiled dogs--Daisy (TWMSD) and Cameron (TW2dMSD). They had a blast running around, and we're so glad neither chose this visit to roll in cow manure. (It's happened before.)
I was lucky enough to pick the winning horse (Super Saver)and won a whopping $39! (Almost paid for a tank of gas....).
I've got some great pictures, but can't get them to post right now. I'll try again later!
