Derby Day

Mint Juleps and thoroughbreds. I was meant for this. My Derby Day party was just me at my house but I have big plans for next year. Mom had better pull it together; her friends would love this, as would mine. So it's on. The 135th Running of the Kentucky Derby will be celebrated in good ol' Louisville fashion at the Grady residence.

Also, Big Brown won just as I (and everyone else) predicted. Unfortunately, Eight Belles (who took 2nd) had to be euthanized due to compound fractures in her front legs. She ran too hard, the only filly in the race. That's sad. And brings to mind Philly's own Barbaro.

The Olympics are in August. Awesome. I should probably have an Olympics party.
