Derby Day Redux

Hey y'all

It was a fabulous Derby party. As you can see above the julep cups were frosted nicely and everything went down smooth.


I have to say that manning the betting boards is a tough but fun job. It does keep me sipping the juleps judiciously*giggling*


We had a little food a little more food

Did I mention there was food?

The ever awesome host and hostess engage in a smooch before things really get going. She works her ass off every year doing this thing and even though a few of us help no way would all of this get done without her amazing energy.

This party has been going on about 15 years and regular guests really get into the spirit and bring something to the party besides food. A new edition this year were commemorative 'trophies'.

Luckily the weather turned lovely just before the bulk of the crowd arrived


So everybody got to enjoy the Kentucky sunshine.




I managed to partake of the sumptuous spreadbefore assuming my position at the boards.

I did manage to grab my hat and camera and make a few party goers wear it for me

The view from under the hat!
















I even put it on myself

I enjoyed the day and Big Brown's run and was saddened by Eight Belles' tragic race. I 'm really looking forward to next year's party and sharing a julep or two.

Smooches and gropes babies.
