WordPress is telling me that I am quickly running out of space so maybe we should try doing a “best of the weekend” sort of thing. Maybe? On Thursday, July 2nd, John Jude and Kynferrarigirl start from gate 6 in Race 3 (Quarter Horse – 250 yds – Maiden). Not exactly sure what happens but…

Today was a good day of racing, even if it was hot. Dave’s Faves flexed its muscles in the first stakes race of the day by producing a 1/9 winner. Glorious. Wait…. wasn’t there just 6 horses? Interesting way to kick off Race 1; Race 1 goes off with one less horse. Instant Love (#3)…

Well, well… “She” has turned 30 years old and Willie has gotten everyone back together for a big old party! Willie started out the set with some non-She acoustic numbers by himself. The band came out after and rocked hard. They tracked through the entire “She” album and it was glorious. I am pretty sure…

I’ll admit it, I’ve been a bad fan. I don’t even remember the last time I saw Willie play and that’s horrendous. Either I find out about it after the fact or have some lame excuse, I don’t know…. it’s been a while. However, as an early birthday gift to myself I was excited to…

Amy had arranged for an underwater adventure in St. Thomas. I had no idea what to expect but the thought of it scared the hell out of me. They took us near an island and people could snorkel while the underwater part was broken into three groups. We rented a camera that could shoot underwater…

Our ship rolled into San Juan early afternoon but before we could debark I had to take care of some business as things at home were falling apart. Literally. Anyway, while I was making phone calls, I was taking pictures. I mean, how could you not? Finally off of the boat, we got to do…

Well, we managed to escape the cold and snow of Minnesota for a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. With illness and airport issues, the trip started off a little rocky but it just gave us more to be thankful for I guess. We disembarked from Port Canaveral and spent time at sea before arriving…

We left for our trip on Saturday. The day was filled with stress as illness and troubles at the airport seemed to be around every corner. We did, however, eventually make it to Orlando in preparation for our cruise. Here are a few pictures from inside the airplane. Next door to our hotel in Orlando…
