Graceland

Sent a few shots of Graceland....beautiful day. Elvis's home was comfortable... very 60's and 70's decor- lots of green shag, carpeted kitchen, Bridget is pictured in the family TV room- and check out the retro  swing set- just like my Gram's! Clearly a place he loved to spend time with family and friends. He was a very generous man-donating regularly to a variety of charities and just helping people- no questions asked when they needed it. He had very humble beginnings. Elvis was an avid reader and a huge Monty Python fan!! He did not drink alcohol. His favorite beverage was diet dr pepper :)
Elvis had a twin brother who died at birth. He was always nervous and uptight about performing until he got on stage, then he just let it fly. We learned a lot today about a truly gifted man who loved family, god and country. Peace out for now while we eat Gus's Famous fried chicken!!!
