It's Homecoming season, and last weekend Chelsea High School celebrated their's. Granddaughter Isabella [Izzy] is a senior this year, so this was her last Homecoming. Our daughter-in-law tagged us in these Facebook photos.

Granddaughter's Brianna and Brooke both came home for a few days from university [semester break]. We all went out to dinner together after church on Sunday. Both sets of grandparents on each end. We won't see Bri again until Christmas.

Time is rapidly approaching October 21st and the tea in Memphis, TN, so I've been doing my research for a trivia game for the residents. Of course, Elvis, will be part of the trivia. A trip to the library provided books about his life.
I've never been a big Elvis fan, so I'm learning about him later in life. My youngest son, Jeremy, is a huge fan. Last month he took Izzy on a trip to see Elvis' birthplace home in Tupelo, Mississippi. His story was definitely a rags to riches one, and ended so sad at the age of 42.
Tea Time magazine wrote an article, Tea with Elvis, a couple of years ago. It's only wishful thinking that Elvis enjoyed Afternoon Tea in Memphis or Las Vegas, but he was probably very accustomed to drinking sweetened iced tea. Tea Time put together a fun Elvis inspired tea menu with Blue Suede [blueberry] scones; That's Alright Mama grilled Peanut Butter-Banana tea sandwiches, Hunk of Burning Love Pork Tenderloin canapés, and King Creole Catfish-Slaw canapés. Desserts were Rock-A-Hula Baby Pineapple-Coconut-Macadamia Tartlets, I Just Wanna Be Your Teddy Bear cookies, and Devil in Disguise Chocolate Cake.
I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your beautiful granddaughters. I know you loved being with them. Your Memphis tea sounds like lots of fun. I've never been overly obsessed with Elvis, but I did enjoy his music. He had a great voice and I remember the day he died, way too young.
ReplyDeleteLovely family times and photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those lovely photos of your family. We are huge fans of Elvis. We have most of his records and one of his movies. Success with the Memphis tea.
