I was especially excited by the expression "fancy hat contest" on the ticket :)
Like millions of women I'm sure, I am obsessed with Kate Middleton. She's so pretty and poised, and she wears such great hats. I scoured the internet for pictures of her and found several with these beautiful fascinators of flowers and feathers in her hair. I thought it would be fun and different to wear one of those instead of a big straw hat, so with ample help from my sister in law Sherry, I made one.
It was a hit! I got lots of compliments and felt very pretty.
Unfortunately, I also felt very sick. I've been battling some ear and throat pain for a few weeks, and my antibiotics haven't quite caught up with me yet. So we didn't stay long.
While we were there, I turned to my Joey and remarked that one of the things I like most about being married is always having someone to do stuff with, like living with your best friend. I do love that.
And him. Doesn't he look wonderful in his picture?
Oh, and I won $10,000 fake dollars on the races. Yee-haw!
