What exactly is a Kentucky Colonel?
Considering that today is the Kentucky Derby, I've been wondering again waht exactly is a "Kentucky Colonel".....????
I had a customer once whose husband was born in Maine, was superintendent of schools in Connecticut.....retired to Florida....yet she would always tell me, throughout the years....before she passed away, that they would attend the Kentucky Derby every single year as her husband was a "Kentucky Colonel".........I figure it's some type of honorary title???? She lived a good long life until her late 90's....and had some memories to tell. We became penpals. As someone else mentioned, I too...have always enjoyed elderly people, for their wisdom.
Hope they have great weather in Kentucky today.
We are having a streak of PERFECT sunshine, blue skies 70's to 80's all this past week with more to come........grass has turned emerald green and been mowed twice.........all the trees are in bloom, pear blossoms, apple blossoms, etc........all the bulb flowers are up as well as the phlox.........spring has sprung early in Vermont.......will enjoy grilling out this weekend and sitting on the deck and screened in porch, for sure........
We appreciate good weather so much more after a long long winter.
