Christmas

Did get the shopping done....7a.m. is a great time to go....only me and 14 other people in the store, til about 10:00 and then it got crowded.
Christmas eve at Harper's...very nice, lots 'o food. and the ever popular WHITE ELEPHANT
GIFT EXCHANGE. I got, wait for it....a wind-up cell phone charger!
We played "Catch Phrase" that is always fun.

Merry Christmas to all

Nashville and beyond

14 hour drive from Lakeville to Nashville...but, really, it didn't seem that long. Kelly & Lucia are good travellers. and I think I am too.
Saw Molly graduate....that was a thrill for all of us. Hung out in Nashville and then took a 3 hour
drive to Mecca...oops, I mean Memphis and Graceland....oooh, it was grrreat. very touristy of
course, but if you have any feelings about Elvis, you must go! everyone loved it, not just me.
Beale St. is so cool and we ate at the Majestic..finally got our ribs. xlnt.
The ride home to Lakeville was only 12 hours long...Molly came with us.
I left for home on the 12/20 and now I must do some shopping.

RAIN IN AZ!!

Well, it did rain....for 1 and 1/2 days. but miraculously it cleared up about an hour before the partee!

Lots of food, fun, drinks and good guests. Ali & Bob put in an appearance, so that was good.
