One of my favorite places in the whole world is Keeneland racecourse. I haven't been able to go to the races in years. It has been hard, especially since I moved to central Kentucky four years ago, to be so close and yet know I couldn't navigate the seats, walking, stairs, distance from bathrooms, etc.

I was able to go to opening day on Friday! It was a beautiful day and I was able to fit in the reserved seats, had no trouble making it to the bathrooms and was able to walk a good bit (even though I used the handicap shuttle to get back to the car ---- I am not on that good of physical shape, yet).

I am even planning to try to go back again during this meet.

By the way, I had burgoo for lunch.< /p>

And your horse in the 5th, a long-shot, came in first, paying 218-1. Not a bad day at all.

Lord, I wish. Actually, the one I actually won had decent odds. The one I ALMOST won (by a photo finish nose) was against the odds-on favorite and set a track record. IF I had won I would have done very well.

But, I count my $2 and $5 bet losses as my price for fun and admission.

I am certainly not a high roller.

Burgoo is a Kentucky specialty. SORT of like Brunswick Stew. I'll see if I can find a recipe online.

Congratulations! I lived in Lexington twice and one of the things I enjoyed was fall and spring meets a Keeneland. I also miss the nighthawk steak and the Kentucky Hot Browns at Columbia. One of my very best friends lives in Mayesville and says Lexington has really changed alot but it is still beautiful in spring and fall.

@@Inner Surfer Girl I was born in Lexington and grew up in Paris. My mom lives in Lexington now. I've been in Florida since '97. I miss Lexington and Keeneland so much! You made me think of so many good times I had at Kenneland and watching the horse races! I can't tell you the last time I had burgoo! Sounds so yummy!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
