To celebrate turning another year older next week, Miss Twin and our friends went to the races. This has become somewhat of a tradition over the past few years. We all get dressed up, have drinks (before mid-day woo!) and a few bets on the races. I must say, I do get a bit carried away. Miss GG would be able to explain my gambling, she visited Vegas with me haha!! After the day is over we then all troop into town for food, drinks and dancing. It's such a fun day and made even better by having my friends all around me. It makes getting older easier when I realise how fabulous they are.
It was so fun to see all the girls dressed up and the guys all looking smart in their suits. The day itself flew by from the first race. As there is only half an hour between each race you're constantly on the go trying to collect winnings, place another bet, get a drink or stand in incredibly long lines for the loo!! I managed to win on a few races throughout the day which was fun but my accumulators were a no go!! All in all the day was great AND it didn't rain! How lucky?!
Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!!

Traditions define our life. The fact that we can hold on to them in this world that never seems to respect anything of permanence is a VERY good thing. Bravo to yours.
