Day 82

 

Late-night cheesy bread and pizza from

White House Pizza & Subs after

Becky’s shift ended

 

 

Always a party! Oh! Yeah! Any excuse to celebrate---anything…any time! I’m all-in! Again.

Our move to Tennessee brought fun-times, great events and wild-adventure; we visited the clinic building where I was born in Madison, TN, a suburb of Nashville; took in the sites of Granny and Granddaddy’s houses over in east-Nashville. I showed the kids where I went to the Saturday matinees featuring double feature cowboy flicks with my cousins when I was a kid. We explored Shelby Park, scene of myriad family get-togethers over decades; viewed the Parthenon and Centennial Park here we celebrated Granny and Randell’s July 4^th birthday with a family reunion and a swimming party in the public pool.

In Hendersonville on Ole Hickory Lake we saw the house Jay and Jean built in the late 50’s that they tried to sell to Elvis of the Presley name, yeah, the crooner; he opted for Graceland over Memphis-way in the end. We viewed Johnny Cash’s home and Roy Orbison’s.

Becky took a job at the local pizza and sub shop in town and every night she would bring snacks home for the family to enjoy. Spent more than a few visits to the fabulous Opryland Hotel with is 2-acre atrium and the “dancing”-water show swaying to the music including a harp.

Ice cold watermelon for dessert after southern fried chicken picnics; let the good times roll!

Fridays brought a culinary delight with fish dinners reminiscent of the past experiences.

Oh! Yeah! And, Dad’s bar-b-que. ’Mmm! ’Mmm! Good! Nearly every night! Oh! Yeah!

 

“A great life!” Spectacular! Amen! Thank you!

 

Ah! Cookie Jar “Faith! Family! Freedom!” Sweet Memories!
