In this collage posted on her Facebook page, Kerri Thoreson shows a row of hats that she saw via her sister, Ronna, and social media at a Churchill Downs, Kentucky, shop. She asked Ronna to try on a white one. Bought it. And then asked her to bring it back to Post Falls.

Kerri Thoreson Facebooks:

“I went shopping with my baby sister Ronna today. She was at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky and I was at home in Post Falls, Idaho. When she posted a photo of the rack of Kentucky Derby hats I fell in love with the white one on top. I texted her and asked if she was still in the shop and she replied, yes. So I asked her to try on the white hat (we have a similar amount of hair) to see if it would fit my head. She did and I texted back and said I want it! Knowing she h ad to catch a flight home to Idaho and that transporting a hat would be a hassle I asked her to get the phone number of the gift shop and I’d call them. So I called and ordered the hat and made arrangements for it to be shipped. Ronna took a photo of the clerk on the phone with me. :) Most fun I’ve had shopping with my sister when we were a couple thousand miles apart.”
