Saturday we went to the Pinnacle Race Track with my brother and sis-in-law. The race track is very close to Metro airport so the planes fly over pretty low.
Here is one of the horses I bet on, #5 and her jockey.
Her name is TakesTwoToTango. I bet $2 for her to place (second or third) and she came in fourth. Bummer. I ended the day down $4.20. Yep, last of the big betters! It was fun just to sit there and have dinner and watch the races.
Sunday Rich and I went to Lakeport State Park.
It was beautiful out and pretty crowded. We brought a picnic lunch and went up and down the beach with our metal detector. Did not find a thing. Then we started scanning the volley ball court, which was away from the beach and empty, and we found 14 pennies! Woo hoo!
Monday was a completely lazy day.
Now it's back to work. At least it's a short week.
Happy 09/09/09 to everyone!!
Sounds like y'all had fun regardless of winning or not!!lol...fun photos!hughugs
ReplyDeleteDown 4.20 doesn't sound bad, but then add back in the 14 cents.
ReplyDeleteI used to love going to the dog track and betting 2 bucks. But, then my friend got religion and made me ashamed to go. When we were kids we lived real near the track, and I love hearing the excitement.
Don't know how I missed this post!!
Thinking of you and sending big ol hugs. :)
2 bucks is about all that I spend across the river at the casinos here. I hate losing my money! Glad you had a good holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteHeck, the whole durn summer has gone to fast!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun. I used to love the dog track in Dubuque,IA. Lotsa fun for the money!
Thinking of you; hang in there, my friend. ((((hugs))))
ReplyDeleteOK, I vote we switch lives for a week! Hey that's a TV show isn't it? Only we wouldn't be criticizin each other's life style at the end. We would be giddy, and saying, "Oh,I just love it how you do this....and I just love it how you do that!" You just listed two things on this post, I have always wanted to do, but never haver!
