Every summer my husband and I and two other couples we worked with for 31 years spend a day in early August at the races to celebrate the summer birthdays among the group. I have other images I'll post individually but this is a glimpse from, what some race writers have said is, the most beautiful racetrack in the country. When we visit each year, on what is usually a beautiful day, we all agree that this is so much better than being in our stuffy glass tower of an office in downtown Chicago.

Looks great, and it made me hungry. Definitely always beats even an air conditioned workplace.

Magnificent work and love it. When I lived in KY, our in-town home was near Churchill Downs.

When I lived in the Chicago Area I used to go there and see the fireworks on July 4th for a number of years...Pretty much second only to the ones in Chicago itself...Thanks for sharing...

A good collage and great photos Kathy. Maybe you could crack a window down at that stuffy office. I suggest bouncing the office copier off it a few times, that should produce a nice crack.
