    hey girls,  just a quick hello.  I am really enjoying the pics from Scuby's dive and can't wait to hear all about it.

    thanks again for the kind words about my Jessica. the banquet is next saturday. My daughter is home this weekend and it is so hard to keep my mouth shut about the happy news. Last night she went out and I was baby sitting my grand doggie. She is just too much fun. Not sure why we are paying for an apartment for the kid when she spends so much time at home but I love having her, she is just a delightful kid. I am so proud of her. 

    Lori, thanks for the drink with bourban, you knew I would love it!

     Are we having a partay tonight? How about a flip flop party theme????  Just a thought......(and Karen can wear clogs)!

    Cheers girls. And thoughts of peace and love to all.

    This is the signature drink of the Breeders' Cup World Championships which features race sponsor Grey Goose Vodka. It first appeared in 2007 and the recipe has changed each year as they tweak it, but this is the 2010 version served at Churchill Downs.
    Prep Time: 2 minutes

    Total Time: 2 minutes

    Yield: 1 serving

    Ingredients:

    1 1/2 parts Grey Goose Vodka
    1/2 part blue curaçao
    1 part lemon lime soda
    1 part cranberry juice
    1 part sweet and sour mix
    Preparation:

    Add all ingredients to a tall glass filled with ice. Shake or stir vigorously and serve over ice. Garnish with a fresh blackberry and a slice of lemon.

    Churchill Downs
    The Mint Julep may be the official drink of the Kentucky Derby, but if you're looking to break from tradition and put your own spin on Derby Day imbibing, this cocktail from Blokes & Birds in Chicago offers some delicious inspiration. Named in honor of the racetrack that hosts Kentucky's famous horse race, this twist on the classic Mint Julep calls on fresh basil, pineapple and reposado tequila for a refreshing sipper that's a cinch to make, giving you plenty of time to jockey for a spot closer to the tv.

    2 oz. reposado tequila
    1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
    1/2 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
    6 fresh basil leaves
    3 fresh pineapple cubes
    Cubed and crushed ice
    Tools: muddler, shaker, strainer
    Glass: small Julep or rocks
    Garnish: fresh basil leaf

    In the base of a shaker, gently muddle pineapple and basil. Add remaining ingredients and shake with ice cubes. Strain into a Julep cup or rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish and serve with a straw.

    "May I take your order?" the waiter asked.
    "Yes, how do you prepare your chickens?"
    "Nothing special sir," he replied. "We just
    tell them straight out that they're going to die."

    Hi girls! I'm nursing a little hangover today. We went out for happy hour last night and got really happy. LOL! My husband is sleeping on the sofa after doing some yardwork. I was stupervising! We were supposed to go on a wine walk tonight, but felt too toxic to go. Ha ha ha!!!



    mema, I will be at the walk pretty early. Our team will be in black shirts and will meet in front of McDonald's (on Fremont St, near the stage) at 7:45. We will have about a dozen walkers. I told my DH that I wanted to do a shot before the walk. He thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am???

    I'm just going to roll with it for now :-)

    Trying to plan out my summer....DH doesn't mind if I go to Isreal again this summer and gone while DD is home....I need to take an ethics class that is being offered July 9 and 10th, so if I go to Israel I either need to go before DD goes to camp or be gone after she gets home from camp....also trying to figure out if I can crew for the Avon 3 day....so I have my work cut out for me to decide on my summer plans......Some of those plans include walking, walking and walking and drinking lots of water, water and more water for I can take off 10 - 15 #.....Well, going to go read some other threads...sweet dreams...
