And even though we're on the prairie
Which really "southern"
(although storekeepers in Minnesota always ask what part of the south I'm from . . .
I do talk slower than they!)
We do party for the Kentucky Derby!!!!
A friend hosts an annual Derby Party
And it's a much looked forward to event . . .
For the Derby isn't just about the horse race . . .
It's about Hats
And trophies!
(I won one for my hat!)
And food!
Maker's Mark Mint Julep cookies
My contribution to the communal appetizer table.
(I took home an empty plate!)
It's Sunday and there isn't anything more seasonal than The Derby on the First weekend in May! I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays!

That must have been a lot of fun - a good excuse to dress up, prepare something delicious and meet with friends. I'd like to know which hat is yours too!
Love the derby and your hats all look amazing, so do the cookies. Hugs, Marty
What a wonderful time to gather and have fun each year. And what a race this year! I love the hats!
I love Derby parties. The menu, the food, the hats and oh...there's the race! a great time to entertain.
The hats are great, I'm sure that your cookies were a huge winner, too. Tanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
