ROCK & SOUL & BEALE STREET

Can't visit Memphis without taking in the flair of Beale Street. Ate lunch at Silky O'Sullivans and listened to some saxaphone & trumpet soul music.

Before lunch we toured the Memphis Rock & Soul Museum. The exhibit is a self guided audio tour and takes you through the blues and country roots of rock & roll. It features vintage jukeboxes, costumes & profiles of the artist of the times. There are 140 exhibits. It is sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute and is presented very well. A great place to spend a few hours if you find yourself in Memphis.

We had taken a trip to Memphis several years ago just to see Graceland & play golf, but never did any other tours.

Hope all is well!

Golf...finally

Thursday we finally got a round of golf in. Ron shot a good round....mine was ugly. Course in Southhaven, Mississippi (North Creek Golf Club) had just aerated their greens so putting was a little rough. That's my excuse!



Course had many moguls and more water and sand in comparison to most St. Louis public courses. But the weather was a perfect 70 degrees and sunny.



Ate lunch at the clubhouse then went grocery shopping to stock our refrigerator. Our refrigerator is a full size residential GE Profile so we have not had to scrimp on groceries. However, cooking is another story. We have no oven....only a Sharp microwave/convection. It works really well, only I have to get use to the temperature and timing of the convection part. We have a cute little 3 burner stove, fueled by propane gas. I never did like cooking on gas, but those who do tell me they would never go back to electric. Ron's Mom has always used and likes gas & so does Ron.....I think he should be the designated cook. We'll see.

Hope all is well!
