Memphis Trip

We had a great trip last weekend. We took our neighbors Cliff and Melissa to Matt's old stomping ground, Southaven and Memphis. We had a blast. Brian (Fester) McLaughlin invited us up for "Festivus" as he calls it. We arrived at Fester's Friday night and he grilled out for us. We had grilled chicken wings, and other goodies. Then Matt and I went to his Mom's and stayed with her. Cliff and Melissa stayed with Fes. The next morning we visited Graceland and had lunch there at the car museum. Elvis must have liked salty meatloaf is all I can say about that. Graceland is such a special place to Matt and I. Matt's mom gave us tickets so we could tour and remember our wedding there. After lunch we went back to Southaven to hang out with Fester and Matt's Mom. It was fun to hang out in her back yard. After that we met my nephew Richard, Katie, and my great niece Kirksey at the Peobody to watch the ducks. It was great seeing them and seeing how much Kirksey has grown. The whole group went to the Rendezvous for BBQ ribs! So great! Dr. Richard Heard was on call so they left and the rest of us went to Beale Street to hear some Blues. Boy did we....The Patrick Dodd Trio was playing at Mr. Handy's Blues Hall.....Fantastic & Fun! The next day Matt and I went to lunch with Marianne (MIL) and guess what we had? BBQ! Why not we were in Memphis! I loved it and it was delicious. We went to the Memphis BBQ Co. and they were proud that they had just won every competition at Memphis in May BBQ Fest. Thanks to Brian and my Mom-In-Law we had a great time. 

They Make A Mama Proud!

Nathan, Philip, and Stephen are on their way to a friend's wedding in Senatobia, MS. 

Stephen and Nathan gave me this sweet card.  It brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. Thank you sons.

Our Mamas! Happy Mother's Day

Deuteronomy 6:6-7  And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. ⁷  You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go;  even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Thank you to our two Mothers for teaching Matt and I diligently with both words and example of what good character is. Your love is a blessing to us. Your love is also a blessing to our children. The Lord has blessed us with two wonderful Mothers. 

We Love You! 

I hope you both have a wonderful Mother's Day. 

Robin's Birthday Celebration

Robin had a birthday and Heath sent an invitation to "the people she loves the most" to come to their home for a crawfish boil. I have never seen a group eat so many! Even the little girls did. They also served Mexican food for Cinco de Mayo. It was a fun night with all of Robin's girls and their families.
