133"th" Kentucky Derby Day






Maggie and Katie's grandma made sure we, and their Canadian relatives in town for the Derby, had breakfast every morning and dinner each night. It was a lesson in hospitality. We were even invited to eat a dinner in courses at the University of Louisville Club. The infield at the Derby was a lesson in something else. Never saw the Queen. Mint Juleps: my new favorite drink. Kentucky Derby: my favorite sporting event yet. One of the Canadians said, "... it brought out the best and the worst in us Blanche!"
