Kentucky Derby- May 5th

Dom and I love to watch horse races.  When we lived in Slidell, LA, we frequented an off-track betting parlor.

I and 3 co-workers at a local newspaper bought a racehorse without getting the "OK" from our husbands.  What fun!  "Capetown Caper".  We broke his maiden.  Oh, the fun times!

We'll be enjoying these libations from SPARKLING ICE:
