Starts with Q: QUEEN starts with Q.
Favorite: My mother sewed these QUILT pieces before she passed away. I had it QUILTED. I started to put it up in the closet to save for one of my grandchildren, but they were born too late to know her. So, I decided I should enjoy it myself and I sure do.
Quantity: I won't know the QUANTITY of cuties in this bowl until I count them.

This week's prompts: Starts with P, Favorite, and Pretty. I'm drawing all my pics from a visit to Remington PARK in Oklahoma City. Hubby's stepson is a trainer so we got a tour of the backside of the track.
Starts with P: PADDOCK starts with P. This is the area where the horses are saddled before a race.
Favorite: I absolutely love gray horses and always root for them during a race. This horse was my favorite of the night. He gave me my big win of the night. A $2.00 ticket to show. He came in 3rd, so I won a whopping $4.80. Yes, I am a big time better. I took $12.00 to the betting window throughout the night. Subtracting my winnings, I ended the night with a deficit of $7.20. Not bad for all the fun that $7.20 gave me.
Pretty: This PRETTY horse is named Speedy Fella. He wasn't scheduled to race, so missed seeing him in action. I hate to call a male horse PRETTY, but he sure is.
Just Because: PRE race PREPARATION in the PADDOCK. This is one of the horses stepson trained. He is PREPARING to race. He had a rough start and was last for a while because of it, but ended up 3rd. If only that other horse hadn't been in his way he probably would have won.
This is him with the jockey walking to the gate. PRETTY IN PINK.
And Finally: You can't have horse races without jockeys and this one is a treasure at Remington PARK. His name is PAT Steinberg.

Today's prompts are: Starts with O, Favorite, and Open
Starts with O: OZARKS starts with O. Took this picture on one of our trips home from visiting daughter.
Favorite: This is one of my favorite sky pictures. OMINOUS starts with O. We have been having lots of rain and some storms. This picture was taken one evening as rather OMINOUS clouds were moving in from the southeast.
Open: The door to this OLD OUTHOUSE is OPEN.
Just Because: You can't have too many pictures of OUTHOUSES, right? I've posted both of these pics before, but I was a little hard up for Os. This OUTHOUSE is in much better condition.
And Finally: The above OUTHOUSE has interesting items hung on the wall. I learned a new word from one of the signs. Samson's Stimulating ONGUENT For the Hair and Whiskers. I had to look it up. Seems it is a french word meaning ointment or salve.
And Now, Really Finally, But of Most Importance: This is the award the person who saved my husband's life received. It is signed by OBAMA.
