The Blues Trail. . . Clarksdale, Ms!

This is where it starts! You have to shoot to Clarksdale, Ms and stay a spell. When Michele and I were here this place had so much history in music and not just the blues.

The man in the photo with me is Rat and he owns and operates the Riverside Hotel. You don't learn anything about Clarksdale and the history unless you have been to see this man. Now let me tell you something. . . If you don't stop at his place first, you will never get to meet the real him.

Rat has been host to Martin Luther King, JFK, Bonnie Rait, Miles Davis just to name a few. This place is still in it's glory and has business like you wouldn't believe. Let's not also forget Morgan Freemans restrurant is located here with many great performers and singers.

Now, for you food lovers who may watch the Foodnetwork channel, there is Abes BBQ.

Voted best 1000 rib places to eat before you die and best bbq. You have to eat the pulled pork sammie with coleslaw and a vinegar bbq sauce!

This place has it all. . . food, good time and plenty history for the buff.

Hillary and Jeff

Married on April 14th in the Oakland Temple in California.

We are so happy that Jeff has found his eternal companion. Hillary is a wonderful welcome to our family. They are so cute and happy together.

Both of them are attending BYU Idaho right now in Rexburg. Jeff has decided to get his degree in Accounting and work towards his CPA. I think that's a great idea for him and it will be a great way to provide for his family.

Both of them are enjoying sports right now playing softball and baseball. I'm excited for their new and eternal life together.

Adrian and Amanda

Adrian and Amanda at the temple in Oakland. Amanda was one of the bridesmaids and she looked beautiful in her dress. She is pregnant with our 2nd grandson, Adezmus. She is due in July and we are very excited to meet the little guy. Adrian has been such a blessing and it was so great to see him for this trip.

Great smile...

At the temple.... what a wonderful day and so grateful that we could be inside the temple with Jeff and Hillary. An experience we will not forget.

Brought back memories of our own sealing. The temple is such a sacred place and the spirit was so strong.

I feel truly blessed!

Mother, Daughter...

Me and Amanda at the wedding.

It was so nice to spend time with Amanda and Adrian. We even got to spend some time with Brian while he was in between jobs.

I sure wish that he would get an assignment out this way. It would be nice if she could have the baby out here where we could help. :-)

I'm praying for it!

Handsome men...

At the Oakland Temple for Jeff and Hillary's wedding. Jeremy, Shaun, Curtis, Troy and Dad.

Adrian and the horse...

We stopped in Utah to pick up Adrian on our way to the wedding. Here he is trying on the horse costume that Debbie and Bryce gave him when we went to Colorado last summer.

We were so excited to have him ride with us. We left Monday morning and stayed the night in Reno. He took his bike and rode it around the hotel parking lot with Papa and Max. He rode it around in the room too and bossed Max around telling him to get out of the way.

I love being a Nana.
