"those memphis blues again..."

this past week was a complete blessing from the L-RD. people, places, and those old comfortable feelings of 'belonging' and 'rest' can never be replaced or cheated. i will scratch out the paragraph commentary and just leave y'all with the remnants also known as pictures and phrases.

lunch with the sister and father and mother:


shopping and errands with mother and sister:

i had to take my sister's picture for her medical residency applications. needless to say, it was more fun that it should have been (and these are just some of the pictures...):

hopefully y'all will be seeing this next picture again in forms of paints and colors and canvas:

metal museum and the old bridge with dan:

jerry's snow cones beat all:

the late night coffee coterie minus david morelli:


i am leaving this entry leaving out most of my one week of summer at home, but all in all, memphis je t'aime. listen to bob dylan, replace 'mobile' with 'chicago,' and you will find my state next week: stuck inside of chicago with the memphis blues again...
