Today, August 16, 1977, 34 years ago...What were you doing? I was 17 and babysitting my younger brother, Larry, as both my parents were working. During the afternoon I was washing the dishes for the day when my friend pulled in the driveway. As she was getting out of the car to tell me the sad news, I heard it on the radio...Elvis Presley was dead!
WHAT? How could that be? Of course back then we didn't have cable TV in Uniontown, Indiana, HLN, Fox News, Nancy Grace, Vinnie Politan, or Jane Velez Mitchell. We just had local news and the radio.
Elvis was and will always be the King and we will continue play is music and smile when we hear his voice.
I had the chance to go see in in the summer of '77, but declined the free ticket and thought I'd see him the next time he was in Indianapolis or Louisville. Little did I realize that concert was his last one he'd ever do!

Pictures and Adventures!
Our family home away from home for the week while we were on vacation...
This year our family grew by four people. My BFF's Shelley and Perry, along with Perry's nephews, Coty and Alex, joined us for a week of fun and relaxation. And that's exactly what we did!
Here's a couple pictures of inside our cabin in the Smokies at Hidden Mountain Resorts...
I never got my camera out of the bag until the day we left, so I didn't capture all of our good times, I was too busy relaxing in our private pool...and cooking!!! :D We had everything, including the kitchen sink! From grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and sausage, mini meatloaf (A1 is the best!), tater tot casserole, goulash, cheesy and twice baked potatoes, chicken wraps, and that was just the supper meals!
I was in my element for the week...setting up menus, and creating delicious meals and desserts for my 'guests' and watching them enjoy eating and coming back for seconds!
Sadly, the week came to an end, but not before we solved all the problems of the world and made some memories that will last a lifetime!
Until we meet again...Good bye Tennessee...
