We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it.”

  1. Great pictures! And I love Kentucky Derby pie. There was a little sandwich counter near where I grew up that served really good derby pie. The owner's wife was from Lexington and brought her recipe to VA with her.

  2. What is Kentucky Derby pie?

    Your town looks so pretty!

    I got a very weird feeling when I saw your autumn photo!

  3. I didn't realize that Paducah, KY was your hometown. I live in the small town of Cadiz, KY which is only about 1 hour away from Paducah. I actually lived in Paducah right after college for about a year and a half. It's a small world!

  4. Jennifer I just found your blog about a week ago and I just love it. You have an adorable family. Now about that KY Derby Pie. I think I'm going to need the recipe on that one. I happen to adore pecan pie and KY specific food is a favorite of mine. Ever had a "hot brown"? They are a Derby staple. I listed the recipe on my blog.
    Best Wishes
