Well I'm now settled in Michigan for a few months!  It's been beautiful weather-warm during the day and cool at night.  I love visiting with Mom each day.  My sister Kris lives close enough that I can walk to see Mom.  Great exercise and I enjoy the beautiful scenery.Pretty quiet living here, but I love being in this beautiful part of the country.  Kris and I poked our toes in Lake Superior and decided maybe we could brave the cold water (55) and go swimming one day soon!
Memphis and Nashville were so fun!  I met Bill in Memphis and we spent one night there.  Went to a restaurant for barbecue spaghetti that was featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives.  Really good.  Of course Elvis had eaten there many times and he was there in spirit.  In Nashville there were 17 of us-brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews to celebrate my brother Jeff's 60th  birthday.  We all had t-shirts that had a guitar on them and said "Honky Tonkins!"  (Tonkin is our family name.)  At every bar they sang Happy Birthday to him, and there were plenty.  I couldn't believe how crowded it was.  Evidently it's the Bachelorette Capital of the US.  Saw lots of drunk young ladies and Jeff danced with them all! Was fun to party with four of my five siblings and family!
