This year my birthday once again landed on Derby Day. I love Derby Day. We have tickets to the Oaks and Derby. Victor and I both agree that two days is a lot so Meredith and Joe take our tickets to the Oaks and we go to the Derby. The weather for Oaks day was not good but Derby Day was beautiful. We had a good time with family and friends and dinner afterwards. Here are a few of the pix.

Derby, MAY 3, 2008!!!! (My Birthday)
Fifty six years ago, May 3, I was born on Derby Day. My dad was in Germany during the Korean War and Mom was here with her family. My birth was "record time!" Almost didn't make it to the hospital. After I was born the nurses at Baptist Hospital encouraged Mom to name me Gayle. Hill Gayle was the Derby winner that year and they told mom that she won the fastest race. Mom said she had strict "orders" from Daddy that if a girl was born he liked Christine. Mom and Daddy decided to add her name and I am, Mary Christine.
