Did you see that?

Did you see Big Brown sail past every other horse and win the Preakness? I was bouncing up and down on our bed, cheering him on to victory. (And I'm sure he couldn't have won without me!) I am so excited! And doesn't that little mark on his forehead look like a backwards state of Florida? As a side note, did you know Big Brown is afraid of flowers? They couldn't put the garland of roses on him at the derby because flowers make him spaz out. I guess as long as he keeps winning, he can be afraid of anything he likes. Anyway, I'm extremely hopeful for a triple crown winner this year. It's been thirty years since the big Alydar/Affirmed battle and it's about time we have another champion horse.


Oh, we switched our date with Prince Caspian until tomorrow. Josh was tied up all day car hunting. And I am happy to say that he "bagged one" and brought it home. It's the color I wanted, with all the little amenities that I asked for. (Remind me to tell you my Waldo story soon.) I have christened it "madame blueberry." Because it's blue, of course. And although Madame Blueberry is not my favorite veggie tale, she is blue and has a cute hat. And I am strange like that. (I'm pretty sure that Josh won't be calling it that. The girls at work thought it was a cute name though. )

I hope your day was as interesting as mine was. The laundry's done (for this moment), our bellies are full, and our hearts are glad. Be blessed.

Sounds like a productive and fun day! We didn't make it to Prince Caspian today either. I am hoping to get to tomorrow. Congratulations on Madame Blueberry. I know you will enjoy it.
Go Big Brown. He was way ahead at the Derby too. The guy that makes my husband's boots owned Secretariat so they talk a lot about the horses. He is a beauty.
Blessings this weekend. Love, A

Yay, Big Brown! We were out for dinner and my husband HAD to sneak away to the bar to watch it! It's so exciting! Thank you for getting me fired up to get interested in watching! I always think of you. Amazing that he is afraid of flowers! I didn't know that! I'm happy about Madame Blueberry! So cute!
I think I better throw in a load of laundry... thanks for the reminder!
Have a great day!
Love,
Angie xoxo
