Dave, Rhonda, Deb and me and good friends Spider and KimmyLou were in the TURF CLUB at Churchill Downs enjoying a day of horse racing. While Rhonda and Dave were not drinking – everyone else was. I started to tell a slightly off color joke and hesitated; Rhonda said with a huge smile “go ahead and do it – y’all won’t remember it tomorrow any way!” God Bless the Shank Family…..the DICKEY Family of KY
