It’s Derby Day and we are invited to a party at the Fowlcan Nest where we will spend the night. The Nest belongs to Ali and Brent (above), owners of a charming Victorian in Nyack. They are creative geniuses and part of the family. A long life thus far of debauchery and silliness with them. I love you Ali and Brent! They are hosting a band, juleps galore, southern cooking, prizes and horse madness. So fun seeing old friends from different pasts gather. We drink all day as one does and pretty much pass out at 11pm. A lovely kaput!
Ali and Christopher at the bar.
Our bartender brings the goods!
The band plays.
The scene at the bar. Fun!
I have a visit with sweet Nelia.
Brent offering a prize to the most dapper dresser. Matt is always king of dapper.
But I personally thought Stefan should win. Look at that horse outfit! And let the crowd know with a little heckling stink. HA! Juleps speaking.
Stefan comes galloping in upon my summons and he gets some sort of prize.
Stefan with the purse.
Brent brings out this pocket horse race game to warm the crowd. A melee ensues. Dollars are being thrown down. It’s ridiculous! He is barking it like a pro. He could have been a horse sportscaster.
Ruh-roh. He’s got his hands full now!
Now it’s time for the big race. Christopher takes over the purse.
The pot is split for winner and loser. The crowd waits to see their fate.
The final stretch!
Some happy winners!
A fun time was had by all. Their house is infused with such love and life…how could we not? Look at these sweet notes from Ali to Brent in the kitchen. True love forever. Thank you Fowlcans!
