bjnno1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Can I just say.... WOW!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much for EVERYTHING I am soooo touched by EVERYTHING you gave to me and the boys (and Pansy Jane)!!! You put so much thought and love into your gifts, words are not enough to express how thankful we are We loved EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING!!!! ) Auntie Jenn was here and took SEVERAL pictures of us opening our gifts, (she just left to head back to Jacksonville so we'll probably have to wait a couple of days for her to post the pics) Black Jack was sooooo excited, he was hilarious to watch playing with each and every stuffie making sure they all squeeked (and they did) While Maj watched from his throne (the recliner) Maj finally jumped down to join in the excitment and chomped on Mr. Football Guy Mr & Mrs Hedgie were the crowd favorites and were chomped on throughout the night (and the morning) The Calander, Preakness T-shirt (LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!), Gift cards and one of my faves... The Engagement Calendar We had a ball reading through that last night Again... I can not express enough how much I appreciate your kindness THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

turbotaina Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Glad you liked everything. I was up at Laurel picking up the Preakness shirt (so you'll be ahead of the crowd come Preakness) and this very charming Scottish lady was running the gift shop. She was talking my ear off, so I grabbed the Thoroughbred calendar to kind of close the deal. On the way home, I remembered I'd already bought you the engagement calendar Glad the toys were a hit. I have to thank Gil, Jen and Jennifer for helping me out with some ideas, since you weren't too forthcoming with the Evil Elf Can't wait to see the pics!

bjnno1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I know, I can't wait to see the pics either. Black Jack was so darned funny :lol I noticed that the t-shirt was 2008 and pointed that out to Jenn Quote Major & Black Jack are the BEST Doggies in the WORLD A Major Presence - MAJOR - March 10, 1999 - January 13, 2011 Little Joe - BLACK JACK - July 31, 1998 - February 8, 2011 "If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself.

turbotaina Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yup, they had just come out with the new shirts that day I was hoping for Christmas ornaments featuring Laurel Park, but the giftshop lady said, "they're too stupid to do somthing like that, something that would sell" She was so funny. She ended up charging my credit card three times for the order, but the track refunded me the difference on Tuesday. Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

bjnno1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've never been to Laurel, but remember riding past it a few times on the train (My sister used to live in Columbia MD) and we went to the Preakness when Silver Charm won I also went with my husband (now EX Husband) when Funny Cide won. I LOVE the drink they serve (Black Eyed Susan) much better than our yucky ol' Mint Julep *barf* Quote Major & Black Jack are the BEST Doggies in the WORLD A Major Presence - MAJOR - March 10, 1999 - January 13, 2011 Little Joe - BLACK JACK - July 31, 1998 - February 8, 2011 "If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself.

Aw... You should come up and go to Laurel - it's MUCH nicer than Pimlico. In fact, I'm surprised they don't move the Preakness to Laurel, Pimlico is so run down I guess Pimlico has its history though: that is, after all, where Seabiscuit beat War Admiral I've yet to make it to the Preakness. Every year I say I'm going to go for Black Eyed Susan day and then Preakness day, but I never do it - probably because none of my friends are as into horse racing as I am Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

bjnno1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Maybe I'll make it back up there again one of these days and you can go to the Preakness with ME!! (this year is OUT unless I win the lottery) :lol but I'd love to go again one year and I'm quite sure Mrs. Carden would JUMP at the chance to join us. I've still never made it to Belmont That's what I ought to do when I turn 40 (2010) is [A] Go to The Price is Right and Go see all of the Triple Crown Races hmmm...

bjnno1 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 My dad went to all three in 1973 and actually got to hold Secretariat's lead after he won the Belmont (he has a picture of it) Talk about a lucky dog!!!! He said all of the press was hovering over Penny Chennery (sp?) and that Shakes (I think that was his groom's name) was walking Secretariat and smoking a cigarette, my dad said he walked over and told Shakes to go take a break and enjoy his smoke and that he would hold Secretariat for him and he actually let him!!!
