The Race That Stops A Nation: Year Three

I was doing so well, there (for a while), with my updates, wasn't I? Oh well, here I am!

It was my third year attending one of my favorite events, the Melbourne Cup hosted by ANZA.  Don't get me wrong, I had a great time, but I have to admit, the shine is just a little bit off the apple. Kinda felt like "Been there, done that." 

Feeling very "been there, done that" when I sent this self pic to my sissies and mom en route to event

But, who am I to complain--what is so tough about getting all dressed up, putting on a full face of make up and donning a silly (large) hat to drink champagne with my friends--in the morning, no less? Nothing!

My dear friend Bronwyn (leaving in April)

Joanna and I are the only two left from our table three years ago (she's leaving in April, too)!

Fun with the Aussie table! (Directly above me is Marika, leaving in January--are you sensing a theme?)

L to R Angela, Birgit, Bronwyn, me and Urmila
