Persephone had her first social outing today.
I didn’t even know there was a Louisiana Derby but apparently there is. So we went to a party at the home of Sue, Steve and Sebastian, who live near the track.
We didn’t go to the race itself, but the party was fun. There were lots of Bloody Marys and mimosas and homemade sausage.

PS: Today was her “official” due date.

He said it in a nice way and I understood that it wasn’t personal. It was like he was giving me a warning about it coming from him.
I think he actually told me it was going to take courage for me to get through the sh*tstorm he was about to create. He sure did!
