My Family Reunion 2011


Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee!
Friday, July 8th - Sunday, July 10th
(That's me in the back on the far right....only time you'll see me on the far right of anything-lol....We had a great time..fellowshiping, dining and touring historic Memphis...We of course made trips to Beale Street and sampled their famous Barbecue....I'm ashamed of myself , the way I ate on this trip..LOL! We went to the Civil Rights museum as I mentioned yesterday and we went to the Stax Museum and Graceland.  (Yes..I've seen Elvis's gravesite.!!) I also took a ride on the mighty and muddy Mississippi river!! The highlight of course has to be the great cuisine ...Which I will talk about in a future blogpost and possibly on another blog. It was great seeing my many relatives from around the U.S. A. , but like they say..There truly is no place like home. I am truly glad to be back...Don't think I'll eat any ribs or pulled pork sandwiches for awhile.............................





We were in Memphis, The Home of Stax Records and Southern Soul...Hope you enjoy these samples of music recorded in Memphis during it's hey dey in the sixties and seventies.Soul Classics All!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: As I go to bed ready to close my eyes in sleep, I think of all the things I wish I had not said, had not done. I offer those to you with sorrow, and pray that you will wrap them in your blanket of forgiveness. Thank you for this day, for all that has been done, and even for all that has been left undone. Let me rest now in your peace. Amen.
