Dreamy Thursday ~ At the Track
I could have been a multi-millionaire

Many of us have dreamt about winning the lottery.  Grandma, mom and I could have became multi-millionaires about two decades ago if we knew how to place bet at a "horse race track".

During one of our many family day outings, we went to a "horse race track".  Grandpa and Dad love participating in horse race betting.  I think many people do, it's fun!  Usually, they participate by listening to the radio or by watching TV while the race happen.  Prior to the race, they would study the section of the newspaper(s) dedicated to the horse racing.  I am not too sure what each of their process is but I think that's a good summary of what happens.

Anyways..so during one of our many family day outings, we went to a "hose race track".  Grandma, mom and I situated ourselves at a comfortable spot and, before each race, we would each pick our favourite horse.  We happened to pick the right horses for the highest payout race.  We even asked Grandpa and/or Dad to place a bet for us because we really loved those three horses.  No one placed a bet for us and so EVERYONE missed out on the BIGGEST payout of that day.

After that, Grandpa started placing bets for us but I think we used up our luck on that day.

Nevertheless, the memory is priceless and we weren't there for the payout anyways.
