My friend Peg just went to Memphis and this brought wonderful memory forward! One year Rhiannon, Marcus, Sammy, Donnie and myself were driving back from Florida and decided to add a stop at Graceland. What a blast. The first evening we went for a walk on Beale Street. First stop "B B Kings"! As we walked in we were greeted by what we refered to as Beale Street's own Oadie! What a blessing for our children. Sammy and Marcus began to dance and were joined by "Oadie"! It was a performance enjoyed by all. After several minutes of dancing we finished eating then went on to the gift shop that was attached. There in the window was a child size drum set. Both Marcus and Sammy went for it!! I remember such joyful sounds along with such LOUD drumming!!I also remember being worried that the boys should not be in the window drumming! That night we enjoyed a wonderful evening in the "Animal" room at the Heartbreak hotel. In the morning as we toured Elvis' home Sammy decided to lay down and the front steps and refuse to get up. So as any mom would do I decided it was a photo op! Unfortuately it was before digital so the picture is not one of my best but the memory is in perfect focus. Pictures will be posted at a later date. For now I will post a sweet picture of my sweet boy.
It doesn't get easier, we just get better at it. God is good.
