I’m in Memphis this weekend and spent part of yesterday touring Graceland. For those that may not know, Graceland was Elvis Presley’s home and is now his final resting place.
I remember Elvis quite well as my mom was a fan before I was born. I must admit to liking quite a bit of his music. The real purpose of the trip is to visit my grandson and daughter-in-law. It’s been a wonderful three days and I hate to see it end. Until next time.

Thanks for including my link! Memphis is on my list of places to go too; although I don’t have relatives there to encourage making the trip sooner.
Thanks for including us Kay!
I love Memphis and Graceland. I’m a huge Elvis fan and dragged my mom years ago on the tour. I loved it!
I loved the tour. We couldn’t see all the exhibits because the little guy was getting cranky and needed a nap.
Gotta love Elvis! Thanks for the mention Kay!
Thanks for including me!!
