My Kentucky Derby Weekend!

What do you associate with the Kentucky Derby?
Race horses and hats. Well, I had forgotten this
hat tradition or I would have arranged one but I
manged to get one for my derby photo.


Food is another tradition and great house parties
with racing pools and mint juleps. Southern
hospitality is always a Louisville hallmark but
more so during the Derby week. Margaret is
posing by her table laden with beef brisket,
sandwiches, potato salad, meat balls, cucumber
sandwiches, shrimp and lasagna to name a few.
Bourbon balls are also a great end to a meal.

Guests are eclectic. I met several psychics and people from all walks of life.

I met Sharon in Jamaica about 47 years ago. She was a lay
missionary for a small school that I taught briefly at before I
came to College.

We went to 4 different parties.
One was at her ex husband, Tony's home.
Tony is in the light colored shirt and he is
a most amazing host as well as fabulous
cook.


This is Tony's patio which is more than
beautiful

Here I am posing with Julia child who is a
lifesize doll who stands in front of his bar.
