Pink Derby Day Post

Do you like the pretty pink flowers at Churchill Downs? I have had such a love for the Kentucky Derby since I was a young child that I thoroughly enjoy doing a Pink Saturday post about it! I hope you will visit Beverly and thank her for her hard work to keep all of us on task each week. Thank you Beverly!

I can don my pink Derby shirt and enjoy the race.

Although my derby hat is actually blue I do love this pink one!

Did you place a bet? Are you nervous? Did you, sell the farm, so to speak? I am not a gambler by nature but this The Oaks Lily drink looks refreshing. It contains an ounce of vodka, an ounce of sweet and sour , an ounce of cranberry juice and a splash of triple sec.

Perhaps a cool, tall glass of pink lemonade will refresh you instead.

Did you win? If so hurry over to your ride:

A perfectly pink Hummer limo!

and here is your winner for 2012 ....I'll Have Another!

Mevely317 said...: What fun! ... Can you imagine actually BEING THERE?! Wow.

Must confess, after seeing a couple horses fall in recent years, I can't bring myself to watch the race in real-time. It hurts my heart when any of those gorgeous creates are injured.; May 6, 2012 at 3:16 PM
Mevely317 said...: "Creatures", I mean. Fingers got ahead of my brain!; May 6, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Sweet Tea said...: Oh that I looked good in a hat. I think the hats are beautiful, though I look silly in one. But, I will take a large glass of the Oaks Lily drink. Mmmmm.; May 6, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Splendid Little Stars said...: fun pink stuff!
I agree that the Derby is fun, but I have never placed a bet on it.
How fun it would be to be there in my beautiful pink hat sipping my pink drink!
I'll Have Another was certainly a surprise.; May 8, 2012 at 9:37 AM
