We left the cloudy skies of Atlanta and arrived in Memphis! And now we are ahead of schedule for the first time because of the time change! haha The hotel is heavenly and is right in downtown. We had fried green tomatoes for dinner and enjoyed legit jazz/blues music at B.B. Kings Blues Club!!! Then we walked on Beale street just like Elvis. We ran into some pretty interesting rules here in Memphis. Beale street is always blocked off and no one under the age of 21 can even walk the street past 11pm. There were probably 100 police officers just on the three block radius to keep us safe. No pics because no free wifi in the hotel to use our laptops to upload pics. Sorry.
In the hotel is an orthopedic conference and Denise picked out some prosthetics for her Mom’s new knee. (You know you need it.)
Before heading out on the town we all got some endorphins at the heavenly hotel gym. Tomorrow we are becoming cowgirls and it will be amazing!
Cowboy take me away,
Lo, D, Eliz

a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.” Psalm 40:3
