It's Derby time folks!!!
I have to say it's a pretty exciting
time to live in KY when it's that
time where the horses run for the roses.
I feel even more proud to be from
KY this time of year.
I feel like the world gets to see
that KY isn't all backwoods applachian
uneducated people.
When it's Derby time I can't tell you
how very emotional I get when they
play our state song
"My Old Kentucky Home".
Goosebumps. Tears well up in my eyes.
And they're off!!!!!!!!!!
No, I won't be sipping on mint juleps.
I have never been a fan.
I won't be sporting a big ole fancy
hat or sitting on millionaire's row.
But I probably will visiting Keeneland
and have been invited to a nice
Derby party--catered, open bar,
live music, under a tent.
I can feel the excitment brewing
in the warm May air.
I hope you can feel it.
I hope you pick a winner!
Just 5 days away.
Friendly comments appreciated.

A FAVORITE POEM:
A Mermaid's Love
The sea is calling me, but only for a time, a time to return to thee and thy love divine. I swim out among waves, through the rocks the and great caves, thinking only of thee my love... Although we are from different worlds it never could be wrong, for thou knowest I will return, singing the mermaid's song... The clams, oysters, whales know it to be true, that all is love and all my love I only give to you... So come to me, oh sailor on the land, come with me and gently take my hand... For I will love you always, and always is as long as the sea meets the sand..

Have fun and have a little thought for me while you're there! ;-)
You bring such inspiration and joy to the world. Your faith and love have real power in the blogosphere.
BET you are right!!!!!!!!!!
NANCY---
I have never been to the KY Derby
but some day I will!!
EDTIME---
Why Ed that was so sweet. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it's a heart thumping, goosebump causing moment that makes for a very fun, party day!!!
STUPIDTOM---
Oh come now!!! I bet you would look smashing in a big ole fancy derby hat!
champagne...and you say there is a horse race TOO?
I just love the build up especially hearing about this horse and then another horse and their story and how they are gonna win.
I love listening to people talk about what their plans are. I rarely speak to anyone in KY that says that they aren't planning to do something or go somewhere for Derby.
Very festive time.
Tomorrow the post positions (I believe) come out and I'm doing a Derby pull at work.
I've even pulled some stats for my husband to look over so he can start making his choices for his bets.
I hope the weather is pretty.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
I want to be on millionaires row and drink Champagne with ya!
