May Day and the first Saturday in May

[meirwen_1988]

It is May Day. Lady Day. Beltain. All good things. I am wearing spring green. I am smiling. On the outside.

Coming back from Wampsville this morning (whew--one thing checked off the stress list) I noticed the trilliums are in bloom along the highway. Good things.

Tonight I go with Duchezz and the Wonderful Jane to a Grand Matron's visit, wearing the new gown I got on sale (SIZE 6!!) and Duchezz will be wearing the gown I found for her, that she loves. Happy Anniversary, a little early, sweetheart.

Tomorrow we come home, get the dogs, and with luck, I will be able to watch the Derby. Not wearing silk taffeta, as I did 18 years ago, the first Saturday in May.

Not wearing a crown of flowers.

Not surrounded by friends, and joy, and hope.

But the jockey's granddaughter will watch the Derby, with a Duchezz, and pugs, and kitties, and bourbon.

Lots of bourbon, perhaps.

And still, there is love.

"And the greatest of these is love."

=hugs= and a Happy Anniversary to all of you. How lucky we all are to have those wonderful memories, to have that kind of love, even if destined for only a short time. And just how much time would be, could ever be "enough"?

Cool, I didn't know that your grandfather was a jockey. The stories that he must of told.

Happy Anniversary to the both of you.

Love surrounds you and your family.

Hot Browns! How can you have bourbon without the Hot Browns for lunch? ;)

(Yep, I watch too much Food Network...but I cook better!)

Sometimes I really wish I had a acquired a taste for booze. :) Of course it's probably a good thing I am picky about it.

Much love. Very Much love.

I apparently am going to be watching the Derby too, according to L. Right. That's horses. (Says Ms.-I-don't-watch-sports...)

Happy Anniversary to you. I remember the day like it was yesterday. Sunny and fine...happy and bright. I love you both very much.
