I think I am a bit uncultured about the Derby because I didnt even know that their was an infield... I thought it was a bunch of famous people in thier widebrim hats... interesting that they never show that part (or maybe you have to buy it on the internet or DVD ;). I am so sorry I have not posted or commented a lot lately, three children is INSANE to say the very least. Love you lots and love to read your blog, I still check it every day!
