Happy Birthday to my cousin . Had a great time in your presence tonight. It was nice to see family-not all are pictured. As I was loading my pics I realized that all the pics we took with the birthday guy were took by the professional photographer 🤦🏽‍♀️.

Happy Sunday everyone❣️ Went to worship service with a sermon titled “Promise Walkers”-it’s not enough to just believe IN God, but you have to Believe God. This will promote action, your talk and response to things will change when you don’t just believe IN God, but believe God. He will provide you with a way to face challenges of broken promises of the world. Feeling blessed to be able to enjoy yet another beautiful day❣️

We took a long weekend to Lexington, Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby at Keeneland. During this past black history month our family historian, uncle Lee Robinson and designated black history facilitator at church gave a presentation about black jockeys and the major role they played in the beginning history of the Kentucky Derby. This peaked our interest….

So we visited Keeneland and Churchill Downs where some of the derby’s are held. We enjoyed the Black Heritage in Racing tour where we learned about black jockeys and the less known important people behind the scenes. The people who trained and cared for the horses and their contributions to what has stayed one of the biggest sporting events.

Did you know? At the first Kentucky Derby, in 1875, 13 of 15 jockeys were African American. Between 1890 and 1899, Black jockeys won six Derbies, one Preakness Stakes, and three Belmont Stakes. But in the early 1900s Black jockeys disappeared. Jimmy Winkfield was the last African American to win a Triple Crown race, in 1902. He was one of the last African Americans to ride in a Triple Crown race for almost a century. This is because they were eventually prevented from continuing to thrive by people and circumstances and soon they became history.

A good time was definitely had❣️ 🐎

Spent Easter with a small few of my nieces and nephews. I am tired, but I enjoyed attending church this morning and cooking and baking all day.

Heading to church. Happy Sunday!
