Among other things we watched the Preakness with mom on Saturday (May 17, 2008). We even dressed for the occasion (see pictures). It was an amazing, to me, race as Big Brown easily pulled away from the pack in the homestretch. Mom seemed to enjoy it as much as we did.
The next day, May 18, 2008, was Nancy's birthday. There was an annual meeting at our UU Church where Nancy was elected president of the church board for the next year. After that we attended a concert by 3 musicians from Philadelphia (a violinist, cellist and a pianist). Great concert especially
since it was in a relatively small space and we could interact with the performers. Since we'd been eating out a lot because of our schedule, Nancy decided she wanted a dinner home which is what she got for her birthday, including the traditional cake with a candle.

Dear Dick and Nancy,
I LOVE the hats! What a lot of fun! I saw only the ending of the race, but was awed by Big Brown, also. Did you know that if he wins or loses the Belmont, he'll never race again? Retired at 3 years old! What a waste!Hes value will be in his progeny.
Happy birthday again,Nancy!
Love,
Prue
Big Brown is already sold to a consortium and was before the Preakness. As you said, Prue, his value will be his progeny. I guess if he wins the triple crown he's got a right to retire and have fun.
