The Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the United States was an attraction for many TV viewers today. I was up to see some of it live and then PBS provided excellent coverage later. Elaine has always followed British Royalty because of her Dad, Albert Flowerday, being a first generation American. Her English Grandparents came over as young people. He came over in March of 1883 with Emma Watt's brother, who had relatives in Seward County Nebraska. Emma came later; she and William were married at the home of her older sister, Mrs Robert John Jeary here in Seward County. We were in England and stood on the Dock at Liverpool 100years to the day, after she departed from it.
We also watched "Justify" win the Preakness, the 2nd leg of the triple crown following the Kentucky Derby. While we were living in the Washington D.C. area during the 60 & 70's, we got up to a Preakness during the late 70's. We had seen a Kentucky Derby in May 1975. Son Tim was working for the Social Security Administration in Louisville. He and his friends took us to a blanket spot in the infield. I had a $10.00 win ticket on Foolish Pleasure who won. Despite all my records, I'm unable to find the date that we went to the Preakness in Baltimore.
