Derby Party

  As I mentioned in my last post, we were spending most of our day at our friends' house for their Kentucky Derby party/bbq.  

  Well, the weather was questionable but we had a blast!  Every woman and  each little girl made and wore their own "Derby Hat".  Basically we went to a store and bought plain straw hats and decorated them with big silk flowers!  They turned out wonderfully! I took a picture of my friend's daughter Kate wearing her creation!!  So cute!  Each of us picked a horse and bet a $1.00 (my horse didn't win, figures!), two people won!  Also when we arrived there was a table just filled with "traditional  Kentucky Derby food" right down to the Mint Juleps.

  The big adventure for everyone was trying the "Mint Juleps" no one had ever had one!  Boy were they strong ( I can see why they're a once a year thing)!  One sip and "Woo Hoo!!!

  Also, watching my husband play Wiffle Ball with the kids in the backyard after he had drank one of those super strong Mint Juleps was quite hilarious!  He wasn't drunk, but even with a little buzz he was something to see trying to run the bases or tag a running child! lol!

Fun diversion from the "norm"

 Today I've been in the total "web designer" mode, as that is one of my titles within my brother's company.  I've spent most of my day playing around with images making his web page a lot more user friendly and appealing than it was.

  I thought I'd do something to some images and post them on here, since I can't do them on his site (he'd get mad, and have some pretty confused customers I think). 

  So here's some image madness:

Wordless Wednesday!

Nature's beauty

I took a little walk outside today to enjoy the blue sky and soak up a little sunshine! The sunshine has a way of bringing out "nature's beauty". With sunlight beaming down colors are more vibrant! after my walk I quickly grabbed my camera to capture a little of beauty that's around me.


"And because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (where it comes and goes, like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air."
