I VISITED MY FRIEND IN JACKSON MS. JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND STAYED 8 DAYS WITH HER. WE HAD A BLAST. SHE JUST MOVED INTO A RETIREMENT ESTATE AND IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. THEY HAD SO MUCH ENTERTAINMENT EACH DAY AND SHE WON THE DECORATING CONTEST FOR CHRISTMAS OUT OF OVER 100 APTS. I HELPED HER HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE FOR EVERYONE WHO LIVES THERE TO COME VISIT AND SEE HER APT.
I LEFT HER HOUSE AND DROVE TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE ON CHRISTMAS EVE. AND SPENT THE NIGHT AND CHRISTMAS DAY WITH BOTH MY DAUGHTERS AND GRANDCHILDREN WHICH MADE FOR A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS.
MY GRANDBABY BOYS AND ME.
AFTER CHRISTMAS WAS OVER I GOT A VISIT FROM MY BROTHER HIS BOYS AND WIVES AND ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN. SOME OF MY GREAT NIECES I HAD NEVER MET BEFORE AND IT WAS AN AWESOME VISIT
ME WITH MY GRANDSON'S AND ALL MY GREAT NIECES AND NEPHEWS.
NEW YEARS WAS APPROACHING FAST BY NOW. WHILE ON FACEBOOK THE FAMOUS PEABODY HOTEL RAN A CONTEST ON FACEBOOK TO WIN TICKETS TO THEIR NEW YEARS EVE PARTY. YOU COULD SEND IN ONE PIC A DAY OF YOURSELF AT THE PEABODY PUT A CAPTION ON THE PIC " NEW YEAR, NEW MEMORY."
THE PEABODY WAS MINE AND TOMMY'S FAVORITE PLACE IN MEMPHIS. WE WENT THERE ALOT AND I ALWAYS HAD MY CAMERA. I PUT A DIFFERENT PIC OF US IN THE PEABODY FROM YEARS PAST IN THE CONTEST IN DIFFERENT PLACES INSIDE THE PEABODY EACH DAY FOR 14 DAYS THE CONTEST WAS HELD. I WON !!!! I GOT TICKETS TO BOTH PARTIES FOR TWO ON NEW YEARS EVE. I TOOK MY DAUGHTER AND WE HAD A MAJOR BLAST UNTIL 6:30 AM THE NEXT MORNING. WE DANCED OUT SOCKS OFF ALL NIGHT LONG.
THESE TWO PICS WERE TAKEN PROFESSIONALLY @ THE PEABODY WHEN WE ENTERED TO PICK UP OUR WINNING TICKETS AND TO START THE PARTY
THIS WAS ME DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY
THIS WAS ELIZABETH DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY
AFTER THE DANCING ALL NIGHT WE WERE DOWN IN THE LOBBY OF THE PEABODY. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ELIZABETH HAD EVER BEEN OUT FOR NEW YEARS EVE AND IT WAS FABULOUS
AFTER THE NEW YEARS PARTY WE ATTENDED THE MEMPHIS ZOO LIGHTS WHICH WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND WE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER HERE TOO.
I SANG KARAOKE AND SHOWED ALL OF MY TALENT. I SHOULD HAVE WENT INTO ACTING. LOL
WE HAD A GREAT TIME IN THIS NEW EXHIBIT AT THE ZOO CALLED THE TETON TREK LODGE WHICH IS A REPLICA OF THE LODGE IN THE YELLOW STONE NATIONAL PARK
THE ZOO LIGHTS WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE
JAN 8TH IS ELVIS'S BIRTHDAY SO ON WITH THE CELEBRATIONS. GRACELAND IS ALL IN LIGHTS
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY ELVIS I LOVE YOU !!
ELVIS'S DOCTOR DR. NICK HE HAS TO BE IN HIS 90'S NOW
THE TETON TRECK AT OUR MEMPHIS ZOO HAS UNPLUGGED EVERY SECOND THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE ZOO LODGE SO HERE WE ARE BACK WITH THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE.
ELIZABETH'S BROKE HER THUMB AND FRACTURED IT BREAK DANCING ON BEALE STREET . THAT'S WHY SHE HAS A BLUE CAST ON.
THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE LODGE AT THE ZOO DURING THE UNPLUGGED CONCERT
THIS IS PART OF THE EXHIBIT OUTSIDE THE LODGE WHERE THE WOLVES AND BEARS PLAY AND THE WATER FALL IN THERE EXHIBIT
THIS IS OUR FIRST SNOW AT MY HOUSE
THIS IS OUR SECOND SNOW BUT MORE ICE THAN SNOW AT MY HOUSE WHICH IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW
I'M BACK SUBSTITUTE TEACHING KINDERGARDEN - 12TH GRADES NOW AND ALL THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER EXCEPT FOR THE SNOW DAYS WE HAVE BEEN OUT. I TAUGHT ALL DOWN SYNDROME CHILDREN LAST WEEK, 3RD GRADERS AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
THIS BRINGS MY JOURNAL UP TO DATE EXCEPT FOR THIS LAST MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT I HAVE MADE. WHILE VISITING THE ZOO I FOUND OUT ABOUT A DOCENT PROGRAM THAT CAME OPEN AT THE ZOO. A DOCENT IS A TEACHER. THE ZOO HIRES DOCENTS ONCE A YEAR AND YOU HAVE TO BE PICKED OUT OF A VERY LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE. THIS YEAR THERE WERE ALMOST A HUNDRED AND THEY ONLY WANTED 20. I MADE THE CUT AND NOW I GET TO GO TO SCHOOL AT THE ZOO FOR 3 MONTHS. ANOTHER DOCENT WILL FOLLOW ME AROUND AND HELP ME TEACH ABOUT THE DIFFEERENT EXHIBITS OF ANIMALS AT THE ZOO TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T CONTANE MYSELF.
CLICK ON THIS VIDEO FOR A LOOK AT OUR FABULOUS ZOO. WHERE I NOW AM A VERY PROUD PART OF. WE ARE RATED THE NUMBER ONE ZOO IN THE NATION. THE PANDAS LE LE AND LA LA ARE THE MEMPHIS ZOO MASCOTS.
LIFE IS GREAT IN MY WORLD. WHEN GOD CLOSES DOORS HE ALWAYS OPENS WINDOWS.
I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN. WHEN LIFE THROWS YOU LEMONS YOU HAVE TO PICK YOURSELF UP AND MAKE SOME GOOD OLE HOMEMADE LEMONAIDE
