medical emergencies. LOL We went to Graceland. It was very intersting. The house is much smaller than I thought it would be. But fun to see those things from the 70"s again. The house has been left just the way it look when Elvis last lived there. The tour doesn't go upstairs. That was Elvis's private area of the house and no one was allow upstairs besides family. So to honor his wishes it remains private. There is just so much to see. The gravesite was there in the serenity garden. His is buried beside his parents. His mother was moved there after Elvis passed away and father put there when he passed as well as Elvis grandmother. It was fun to see the planes he traveled on and owned.


I got to spend lots of time with my beautiful little grandsons. Jacob is in that MINE stage of the two's and loves to tell you NO all the time. Sometimes even looking at him was not allowed LOL.  A few temper tantrams thrown in as well. Dd was so upset because he was acting this way and I told her don't be it is a very normal stage for two year olds he will out grow it someday.  Grayson is almost 9 months old and simply the happiest baby I have seen in a while. He is so even tempered and laughs and smiles most of the time.  Time always seems to short when we are there so we try to enjoy every minute we get to spend with Dd and those little boys.


Got home last night and I am very glad to be back. Love to go but as they say always nice to get back home to your own things and mostly your own bed LOL.


I missed you all. I did lurk on the board some but just didn't have the time to post much. Didn't want to spend much time on the computer but I couldn't not check on you all.


Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend.

Hi Cindy


I love getting to see my dgs's. Don't get to see them too often so enjoy it when we do go in the spring and fall.

HI Dutch


Yes what more could a girl ask for Elvis and two adorable little dgs's !!! LOL You are so right about two year old. I read something the other day that said the job of a 2 year old toddler is to rule the world. LOL Well they can at least try.


Oh shucks Dutch thanks, I think you would be greatly missed around here too.


Love ya

Hi Rj


Well Dh did have to do a bit of twisting to get me to go. I liked Elvis but was not a great big fan. He had to twist even harder this year after what I went through last year there. LOL However he and I both agreed it is a place people should see. A step back to a time when we were all growing up, and a time we can relate too. I think you and your dh would both enjoy it.


Always good to be home again. I missed my doggie LOL


Love ya

HI Sooze


He was so cute trying to be the boss sometimes. Poor Dd was worn out though because he doesn't give up easily.
