One Army Wife's take on life during the third deployment. This blog started with 396 wake-ups to go before Captain Neal Miller returns with his unit, the 352nd Combat Sustainmment Support Battalion, from shutting down operations in Iraq. It's an historic mission that started with 400 wake-ups apart from family and friends.

Wordless Wednesday: The KY Derby (or why it's important to mount the fastest stud)
Admittedly, corn hole has nothing to do with the Derby...but the Derby is "the most exciting 2 minutes in sports"...what are you going to do the other 3 hours and 58 minutes? Grill brats and play corn hole. And drink bourbon tea, of course. Unless you are Neal. And then you will look ridiculous (or adorable if you're married to him) in a jockey hat and hold up plates that say "Talk Derby to Me." Because that's how we roll in the Bluegrass State.

LOOOOVE the hat. I've never been to the Derby, or a Derby party, but I have more than a little bit of a love affair with Derby hats. Don't tell Brian.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Nothing is more fun than corn hole and grilling out. One of these days I am determined to have a Derby Party where everyone dresses up and wears the fancy hats.

I missed the entire Derby, two jobs will leave litte time for that kind of activity

I never knew that corn hole was a game. I thought it was something done in prison.

ReplyDeleteSo I found out at Stagecoach (the concert, not the restaurant, which we do actually have in my hometown. BEST Buttermilk Biscuits ever. Add that to the list of reasons why you need to come visit) that I actually suck balls at cornhole.
ReplyDeleteLove it! My family is in the thoroughbred business. My brother was at Churchill Downs and won over $4000 off the Animal Kingdom win....he is such a lucky punk!! LOL!!
