My Horse didn’t win and neither did my Jockey. However, I did find some mint and a few bags of table sugar and that made a make-do Mint Julep. I think my favorite part of the pre-race coverage was when they were interviewing celebrities about their favorite for the race and the Village People came on and sang that their favorite was the “Macho, Macho, Man.” I sang along and weeped along to My Old Kentucky Home.
In the hotel lobby this morning, I was having some coffee and reading a paper and observed all kinds of people (travelers and hotel employees) wishing their mother Happy Mother’s Day. It was sweet. It was in several languages.
Grackle took me out shopping yesterday. She had some store credit at a shop in the Mall, and we put it to good use. Today we spent some time cleaning out a closet and putting unwanted clothes into a bag for Good Will. She gave me a cute card today. My Husband brought me a card, too. He is getting the hang of these holiday rituals.
