Keeneland!

On April 24th, closing day, I went to Keeneland! The girls from work decided it was going to be "girl's day", we took off the day, the company paid for our tickets, and we headed to Keeneland. We had a fantastic time. The weather was amazing, we had some drinks, placed some bets and checked out the scene. I placed 3 bets and won two! Of course, it was a $2.00 bet on the long shot - Skim Scam, and a $5.00 bet on Papa. All together I won $6.00, and it was so fun!

Here is, from the left: Savannah, she goes to UK and does HR. She is getting her degree in accounting and will probably be my boss one day, Cheri, the file clerk, Lee the realtor for our real estate branch and he office manager and me.

Again Savannah, Lee and me
