Derby Day

Another glorious Kentucky Derby has come and gone.  The energy, the betting, the wonderful southern food, the drinks, the gorgeous horses.  The men look smart in their suits, and the ladies look so beautiful in their summer dresses and hats.  However, the most beautiful thing about the Derby, is passing on the tradition.  Seeing the children in their adorable hats, and cheering for their favorite horses is a precious memory.  I saw a little boy with a railroad cap on tonight, and a little girl with a twenties flapper hat on, and it reminded me that life is just moments, isn't it?  Of all of the great things that happened today, looking over at those beautiful children, that is the visual that I will keep of the 136th Kentucky Derby.
