The First
Saturday of May was quickly sneaking up on us. We worked diligently creating our hats. Our
ladies chatted about going to horse races over the years. Helen even told us
she bet on a horse and the odds were not in her favor. She smiled when she told
us how much money she had won. Everyone was
very excited that May 8th had finally arrived. Our ladies dressed so
elegantly and their outfits matched their decorated hats. Even a few of our
gentlemen wore their Stetson hats. Mint juleps were generously poured and our
entertainer was happy to hear our residents sing along with him. The racing
forms were passed out and everyone picked their favorite horse to win. After
dinner we all gathered to watch the quickest race on earth. Cheers and screams
were heard throughout the building. Finally it was over. Nyquist was the
winner. Our winner’s names were proudly displayed. This was a memorable day for
everyone.
