Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.

This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:

My library of recent favorites for Thing 11
I am always reading a mixture of things: good mysteries, stories with historical characters, nonfiction. I also listen to Books on CD that are separate from what I am reading. I read several books at a time; it depends upon my mood what book I pick up each evening. I enjoyed this exercise because it relates to one of my favorite activities--reading. Hope others enjoy these books.
