It's Billy and Cheryl time!

When we find ourselves within a few hundred miles of Billy and Cheryl, the decision is a no-brainer.  We must see them!!  Mostly, there is marathon yaking, catching up and laughing when we are together, but in between they were gracious enough to tour us around Memphis a bit.

Of course, there was a mandatory evening on Beale St. where we were lucky enough to see the Memphis Flippers perform!  Our good friends treated us to a delicious dinner downtown ensuring the other thing we all do when we're together--eat good food!!

We spent an afternoon strolling through a most unique and beautiful cemetery accented with many wooden-looking benches, arches, gazebos, trees and bridges that are not made of wood at all, but cast in cement.  The ponds and fountains and gardens, curiously enough, draw people in want of formal photos.  In fact, a bridal party was in full pose as we were visiting.

Quite amazing, was the walk-in, cavern-like grotto with almost life-sized figures and scenes depicting Bible stories.

It was a perfectly delightful weekend with our old buddies, and Al had time to make a stop at the West Fraser office to visit with his friends and former co-workers. 

All on board!!  The Bighorn has an appointment in Elkhart, IN.
