Fabulous Friday -- Derby Day Fabulous

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!) or even fond memories I have stored in my brain.

For one thing it is FABULOUS because I'm going home today!!

It promises to be a Fabulous/Interesting weekend with Mr. Potts and me hosting a Derby Day Bar Crawl. Complete with prizes for best hat (hope I win!), best dressed - Male/Female, dollar bets winner take all & lots of racing!!

Hey Trish, how is THAT for a Pink Hat?? Wish it were mine.

Color me pink, I'm so excited I can't wait!!

We'll be kicking off at our home & instead of a Mint Julep, we'll be serving the Oaks Lily. Now, I know, the Oaks are Friday. Which is the day we usually go. Since we're not going to KY this year (which will be the first time we haven't gone since Mr. Potts and I have been together), I'm choosing to serve something yummy instead yucky.

Because, let's be honest y'all, Mint Juleps are NASTY!

For those of you that watch the races, a good way to pick your horse is by the rider. Yep, check out Calvin Borel, Kent Desormeaux, Edgar Prado & Julien Leparoux. Check your rider & then compare the horse's record on the turf they're running on.

Or you could just pick one cause you like the name. That's fun too!

Speaking of Trish, her Wordless Wednesday post this week just took my breath away. With cold weather in New England, this was a breath of fresh air.

I'm leaving you on that super high note. Have a wonderful weekend!
